Perched on the highest and most scenic hill in Pisac, Wolf Totem Guesthouse offers sweeping views over ancient Incan ruins and the Sacred Valley. Designed as a true “holiday from the holiday†for intrepid, long-term travelers exploring South America, it combines comfort, practicality, and space to recharge between treks and adventures.
The property is reached only on foot via 150 mountain steps. Guests should be in good physical shape and travel with a backpack; heavy wheeled luggage is strongly discouraged and must be carried by the guest. Once at the top you’ll find gardens, common areas, a Steampunk CafeÌ with reliable fiber-optic WiFi (plus a dedicated co-working space), and a yoga deck with panoramic views for self-practice.
We are a 5-minute moto ride or 15-minute walk from town—close enough for convenience, far enough for quiet.
