Mercado is the Spanish word for market, and El Mercado occupies the premises of a former market located only a couple of blocks from Cusco’s main Plaza de Armas.

A market is an expression of a town’s culture and traditions, a space where these may be appreciated, fostered, and protected. Visiting a market is an effective way of obtaining a deep and lasting impression of a city, a place where its pulse may be felt.

Just as the countryside’s best products are brought to a market, El Mercado brings the magic of the Apus - the spirits of the mountains - to the city.

The hallmarks of the Mountain Lodges of Peru experience - exceptional service, warm Peruvian hospitality, and attention to details - are found at El Mercado, creating a perfect beginning for any journey into the beautiful landscapes and fascinating cultures of Peru.
