The free lesson from Kiki’s mom. I had an unexpectedly wonderful and educational experience at the Union Hotel in Cusco, where I met Veronica—who affectionately calls herself “Kiki’s mom.” Kiki is a smart 10-month-old Huacaya alpaca (one of the two alpaca types) living in the hotel courtyard. Veronica comes every day to care for her, and what began as a casual encounter turned into an incredibly informative, hands-on cultural lesson. Veronica is from Quiquijana, in the province of Quispicanchi. She brought with her a rich collection of materials, including all four types of highland fibers from the Cusco and Machu Picchu regions. Her explanations were immediately practical—especially for travelers hoping to buy authentic souvenirs. She taught us how to distinguish real fibers from fake ones simply by touching and smelling them, which is invaluable in local markets. She also demonstrated the use of a traditional tool called the pushka, used since pre-Inca times to spin animal fibers into yarn, and explained how these threads are then turned into blankets, clothing, hats, and more. One particularly moving moment was when she proudly showed a textile made by her grandmother—an “alive” piece of heritage filled with symbols, each carrying its own meaning. What impressed me most was her demonstration of natural dyeing. Using only water, a white translucent alum stone, and cochineal, she showed how dozens of vibrant colors can be created.

On our last day the hotel was completely empty it was only me and my mom. The new management arrived at 6am EXTREMELY LOUD people were walking up and down the stairs on non stop smoking sage all over the hotel we couldn’t breathe, it was awful. I asked them if they could respect us and let us sleep but it was like talking to the wall. The new people that are running the hotel are extremely rude, they didn’t respect me and my mom. They were walking like elephants up and down. Didn’t let us rest at all. It’s being an awful experience. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY. If you want to ruin your trip book this hotel. I told the receptionist that 6am is not ok to wake people up on vacation. Not even my earplugs helped me to fall back asleep because they won’t respect you they won’t stop and they won’t respect you as a guest.

Only two complaints was there was a large gap under the door so I was cold. And the lack of heat not helping my coldness. The shower is phenomenal hot water forever and amazing water pressure. A baby alpaca live at the hotel and she is my new best friend. Every employee there went above and beyond to help us. I would let any of them use me as a reference on their resume. Normally I would want to gate-keep a place this good.

The hotel manager knew that I am in the ICU for acute respiratory failure. from Nov. 25-Dec-1, yet they did not cancel my reservation and charged me fully while was in ICU. They bought my belongings to the ICU but charged me for the stay anyway. They are cruel, inhuman, and a blot on humanity

The staff was very helpful. Breakfast was good. Our room was just ok. There were windows in it that were covered with something very thin. You could hear other guests all night and into the morning. I found a hair in the bed (not my color) and the bottom of the tub was not very clean. There was a hairdryer which was a plus. The courtyard was a nice area to sit in while we waited.
