The hotel was up a steep hill. I was out of breath. Be careful — there are two Hotel Ferres in Machu Picchu. The first is right next to the train and over a beautiful river. This one is far, up hill, the lobby is infested with bugs flying in, and the front desk did not give us rooms with the minimal view that did exist. At least the hotel was kind enough to have someone help bring the bags (but didn’t make a big difference since we had 5 people in our group).
