Cerro Santa Barbara

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. The suite with Mountain View was so gorgeous I just never wanted to leave. Bed was comfortable. Everything was clean. The jetted tub was luxurious, as were the fluffy bath robes that came with the room. You could hear the nearby river as you drifted off to sleep. The staff was incredibly accommodating, friendly and enthusiastic. They let us leave our luggage with them until check in since our train arrived early, then let us leave the luggage again after checkout and sent it down to the station for us when our train was set to leave so we didn’t have to walk up the hill again to retrieve it. The breakfast was better than any hotel I’ve stayed in. Overall, one of the best experiences I’ve had in a hotel. Well worth the price.

Amazing stay! The views from our dome were amazing! You are literally on the top of a mountain with views down to the Urabamba river and a glacier on a distant peak. There are only a few staff that work here, and they do everything! From picking you up at the train station and from town when needed (extra fee, contact them through WhatsApp), to cooking a delicious dinner in their small restaurant. This hotel involves switchbacks on a dirt road. The last short stretch is too narrow for a car, so they take you up on a 4-wheeler/quad bike. Don't bring a giant suitcase. There are also stairs involved to get to the domes, so not an option for people with mobility issues. You will get a little winded in the thin air. We were here at the end of March. The domes can get really warm in the daytime sun, there are windows to open to cool it down. It can also get really cool at night. There were extra blankets and a space heater to warm it up. Turn on the space heater before dinner to get the heat started. Beds were comfy, The amount of stars visible at night is amazing!! We would definitely stay here again. The pictures that we posted from Vertical Sky got the most responses from friends out of anything we posted in Peru!

All staffs are are profeesional and kind. Restaurants and markets for shopping locatared in walking distance.
