Here we provide a complete guide to ensure your experience in Peru, and especially in the luxurious Casa del Sol Machu Picchu Boutique Hotel, is perfect.

Local Currency: The official currency of Peru is the Nuevo Sol (PEN). However, many places also accept American dollars, especially in tourist areas. Even so, it's recommended to always carry some soles for small purchases.

Currency Exchange: In the main cities of Peru, you'll find numerous exchange houses and banks where you can change your dollars, euros, or other currencies for Peruvian soles. It's suggested to exchange a small amount at the airport for immediate expenses and then look for exchange houses in the city, where rates tend to be more favorable.

Credit Cards: Most tourist establishments, including the Casa del Sol Machu Picchu Boutique Hotel, accept major credit cards like Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. However, keep in mind that some small businesses or in less touristy areas may not accept cards. It's advisable to inform your bank about your trip to avoid security blocks.

ATMs and Withdrawals: In cities and major tourist destinations, there are a good number of ATMs where withdrawals can be made in soles or dollars. It's important to check the international transaction fees with your bank before traveling.

We stayed one night there and really the service has been exceptional. I have nothing but good words for the establishment. We stayed in a suite which was excellent! It had a jacuzzi. Breakfast very good. The staff is always attentive. And the restaurant is a luxury. We took the 4-step menu and it has been spectacular. I would definitely go back and recommend it.

Unforgettable

I went to Machupicchu with family and stayed at the Casa Del Sol hotel again. The hotel is just beautiful. There have been renovations since I was last there, the dining room is beautiful and crisp! An absolute delight to dine in. But the best part of the hotel is the people. The staff really goes above and beyond to make sure we have every need attended to! The staff welcomed us back like old friends, and even helped us celebrate my mother's birthday with a bottle of wine! We stayed for 2 nights, but we could have stayed longer just to enjoy the rooms and the spa.

Beautiful Hotel in Aguascalientes

I loved staying at the hotel so much! As soon as we got off our bus we were greeted by very friendly staff and walked less than 100 meters to the hotel. Their food is amazing and staying in this hotel is so relaxing, especially after a day spent in Machu Picchu. Every single one of the staff is so friendly and makes sure you are as comfortable and happy as you can be. I especially loved how the hotel was just next to the river and the beautiful rooms they provided. I hope I can go back someday!
