This is a place where your attitude makes the hotel. Your are in a rural area that has only had a major road going through the area for 25 years, so the area is not very developed. This is a quaint hotel located on a hillside above the town. Rooms are not fancy but comfortable. We found the restaurant to... more

We stayed here for one night as part of a tour of the Colca Canyon. I was quite surprised at how good it was as it looked a bit naff from the outside. On the inside, the rooms were very comfortable, large and with a good sitting area overlooking the town. The food served in the restaurant was surprisingly good,... more

There are lots of detailed reviews already describing the rooms and views, with which I don't disagree. We found the room to be very comfortable, lovely view, close to the town, clean. But the restaurant meal we had on our first night was appalling. The second night we ate in the Andean Chef in town, which is only a short... more

After reading the other reviews, how do I say what has already been said? There's a lot of truth in the other reviews and they're the reason I stayed there (after checking out two others). Well, yes, it's likely the best hotel in Chivay.....but it's in Chivay, a small town with nothing but a minimal infrastructure to to help travels... more

The location is very well thought through, perched on a hill overlooking endearing city of Chivay. The staff was supper friendly. Leny at the hotel coordinated our hotel/tour for a very reasonable price. The rooms were very clean and quaint. Unlike many Hotels in the Colca Canyon, el Pozo del Cielo has a nice electric heater in the room, which... more

The hotel is very clean, with good heating and lovely rooms! The hot water is available, which is not as usual in Chivay. Some frineds in my group (we went there with a 2-day guided tour from Arequipa) slept in cheaper hostels, but told me hot water was a mirage and rooms were very cold and dirty... The hotel is... more

My wife and I stayed at the Pozo del Cielo (PC) for two nights after having spent a couple of nights in the Colca Canyon. We had stayed at the Casa Andina on the way to the Colca and anyone thinking of staying here should perhaps read my review of that hotel before deciding where to stay. This hotel was... more

We stayed at the Pozo del Cielo for two nights as part of our 3day/2night Colca Canyon tour with Giardino Tours (their usual hotel, the Casa de Mamayacchi, was booked up). The hotel is a lovely, charming place on the outskirts of town, across a bridge that overlooks a deep chasm and river which are technically not part of the... more

Pozo del Cielo was hands-down our tour group's favorite hotel during a 17-day trip to 8 cities in Peru. We enjoyed 3 relaxing nights here taking short daytrips to the surrounding sights and were thoroughly charmed by the experience. The attractions that separate PdC from the other places are many and varied; It has a unique charm all its own,... more
