The train and bus back to Cusco from Machu Picchu takes about 3 hours so it was quite dark on our arrival.
Imagine our surprise to find that the Belmond Hotel Monasterio had opened the monastery church to receive us! This was because they had all our information already from our previous night and only needed to distribute keys!
Lots of gold.....it was very impressive......along with the Gregorian chant!
The room I had here was very definitely the nicest on the tour!
with a great view...... on one side.........
and from the door side it looked out onto the smaller courtyard.....
As it was late on arrival we decided to visit a museum across the street, the MAP, the Museo de Arte Pre-Columbian, which had a restaurant in the courtyard. This is a sister museum to the Larco in Lima. Again presentation was fantastic... with superb Pre-Columbian ceramics....
And we were the only people viewing! It is also open until 10pm and makes sense to see prior to eating.
The restaurant is a glass enclosure in the courtyard of the museum.........
Food and drinks were good! To be recommended!
