Why Black Llama is the Best Hostel in Cusco
Searching for the best hostel in Cusco? Black Llama is rated 9.5/10 on Hostelworld, a 2026 Hoscars Winner, and sits two minutes from Plaza de Armas — close enough to walk everywhere, far enough to sleep. Our dorms have full privacy curtains, reading lights, and power outlets at every bed, plus a women-only dorm with a hair dryer and iron in the room.
We see ourselves as ambassadors for Peruvian culture, not just a place to sleep. Our coffee shop serves direct-trade beans roasted in-house, the bar mixes proper cocktails, and our weekly activities — Pisco Sour classes, salsa nights, coca leaf readings — are led by locals we know personally. Book direct and you get the best rate plus traveler deals you won't find anywhere else.
Privacy in Every Bed
Full-length blackout curtains, personal light & USB outlet. Sleep like it is a private room.
Made in Peru Coffee & Bar
Direct-trade coffee roasted on-site. Cocktails mixed by people who know the local spirits.
Real Activities, Real People
Salsa, Pisco, coca readings — hosted by locals who live in Cusco, not a tour desk.
