Situated in Sahuayacu, within 17 km of Huayna Picchu and 19 km of Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary, Lia B&B Lucmabamba features accommodation with a garden and a bar, and free WiFi. Manuel Chavez Ballon Museum is 19 km from the hostel. Fredy and Esther’s B&B was one of our fondest memories in Peru. Even though we could only a bit of Spanish, they were so welcoming and accomodating(they do speak good enough English to understand both conversations and the tour). To see how coffee is made from tree to cup was a big experience for us and possible even though it was out of season. We can highly recommend.

This property is located a short distance from attractions such as La Merced Church, Holy Family Church, and Inka Museum.

The beds are super comfortable and private, there’s a same-day laundry service, the bathrooms were clean, the kitchen was one of the most fully equipped I’ve come across in South America and the staff were super helpful.
