There are lots of restaurants to try like: Huacatay and one that starts with an I with...
Read moreCCATAN Home from Home||||We stayed 3 nights at Eco Lodge CCATAN which is in a residential area on the outskirts of Urubamba. We much appreciated the tranquility of this lovely guest house and the very warm welcome from Yami. Infact Yami was very helpful throughout our stay and we thoroughly enjoyed the generous breakfasts and delicious dinners, both by arrangement. Yami also recommended a very capable and knowledgeable driver, Ruben, to visit the nearby places of interest Chincheros, Moray and Maras. A fascinating day.||The rooms are charming with pleasant views of the garden and the bathrooms adequate with plenty of hot water. ||If you need some peace and quiet in between the hubbub of Cusco and Machu Picchu, then Ccatan ticks the boxes and is very good value. ||Thank you Yami. We...
