Koricancha Hostal: Hostel in Sicuani
PONCIGUE Says: I stayed 4 nights at this hostal in July, 2007. Each room has private bathroom with individually controlled hot water heater. All rooms have color tv, small table with 2 chairs, and either a queen size, double, or 2 twin beds and nightstand. Staff kept my room very clean but...
Favorite thing: It's been some years, but I spent a night in an eco-lodge just outside of Sicuani that was built and run by a small indigenous community. You might want to hire a car to get there. Accommodations were spare but brand new at the time. Sicuani itself has a bank, internet, a few small stores, and, from what I see on this site, a hostal.

Favorite thing: there is much to see from the train...
in cusco take a seat near a window on the LEFT side....the most spectacular one!
Fondest memory: each stop is a real indian market.....no problem at all finding something to eat .
