Hi
We are arriving on May 4th and understand it will be very warm in Cusco. We booked a hotel but are now looking at finding a hotel with an outdoor pool if possible. Any ideas?
Hi Andrea, if you have a big budget then the JW Marriott or the Belmond, both in Cusco, have pools. Otherwise for a lower budget San Agustin and Hotel Royal Inka have pools.
Thanks….will check those out
