We stayed here only one night as part of a tour to hike in the Colca Canyon from Arequipa but would certainly have been happy with more nights in the hotel and a bit more time in Chivay. I think you could easily classify this as a boutique hotel with really great design and architecture. The hotel sits up a... More

This place was great. Can't imagine a better way to experience Chivay. Amazing views, really nice, understated decor, and wonderful service. Rooms have lots of little touches that make them unique and especially inviting. The location, atop a hill overlooking Chivay and the river valley with dramatic Andes peaks in the background, literally can't be beat. This is the place.... More

We spent only one night there and wished we would have spent more.Very clean with nice beds and good views of the river and mountans from most rooms.Chivay unlike other places ......namely Puno felt very safe and was beautiful in April.

I stayed here with my wife as part of a Peru trip last April. We only had one night here, but the room was fantastic. We had a great view out over the gorge, town and mountains. The room was very good - one main room, but with a couple of levels seperated by a step or two, then a... More

We stayed at Pozo Del Cielo for three days during the off season when some have complained of cold, uncomfortable rooms. I don't understand the concerns because our accomodations were spacious and comfortable even without the use of available heaters and hot water was abundant. The central plaza in Chivay is only a leisurely 10 minute walk. The grounds are... More

We stayed mid-January after a blitz around Arequipa and Puno, and with all of us pretty tired. There were a couple of other parties in the hotel but the overall impression was that this was definitely as low as any season gets. We didn't fancy another 'cultural evening' at a local restaurant, so booked the restaurant: service was slow and... More

Ill cut to the chase: the property is cold with poorly functioning heaters and limited hot water. The rooms are dimly lit with fluorescent lights and are more uncomfortable than comfortable. The service was poor and the restaurant's high-point is the view, not the food. I wouldn't stay here again, I would stay somewhere closer to the canyon.

Pozo del Cielo is a 6 minute walk to Chivay Plaza with restaurants and local market. Market is a funny mix of local needs (shovel, vegetables, etc., and western tourist shopping. Crafts are much the same as in Cusco, Aguas Caliente, Puno, but in a low key atmosphere and not overwhelming quantities. I love the location as it's quiet, no... More

Great stay at this place, the ceiling is from glass(not the whole thing, just a small amount). It's cold there and so in the evening they bring you hot water in a thermo bag to stay warm in the bed, great place to stay, even it's not that close to the centre of Chivay. Recommended!
