Cusco

I stayed at The Point Hostel for s/20 per night in a 12 person dorm. The hostel is nice with free internet (wifi and 3 computers). The dorm was big, they had hot showers and they were always cleaning the place. The Point is a chain in Peru and there are a couple other chain “party” hostels like the Irish Rover and the Loki. The Rover is near the point and both have great locations. The Loki is a tough walk up a hill from the center. The Loki has the biggest party vibe of them and the Point is the cheapest. I’d either stay at the Point again or at the Irish Rover. Taxis anywhere in Cusco are generally s/5. There are tons or backpackers in town and a lot of people stay there to study spanish. Its a really nice town and has a lot to do around it. There is also a really big backpacker party scene which surprised me.
