Lodging
We recommend staying in Calca the night of the wedding for the convenience of not taking a taxi back to Cusco the same night. In Calca, there are a variety of lodging options on Airbnb as well as hotels. We recommend booking your lodging accommodations well in advance given that this is a smaller town with a finite amount of lodging options available. However, if you find that no lodging options are available at the time of your booking, there are nearby towns a short taxi ride away with more options.

Getting to CasaRaiz in Calca from Cusco - Shared Van (Colectivo)

Location: For colectivos to Calca, head to the Estacion de Buses Urubamba y Calca, located near Puputi Street in Cusco. Finding the Colectivo: Look for minibuses with signs indicating "Calca" or ask any local for guidance. The community is very helpful to visitors. Timing: Colectivos start running early and continue until the early evening, departing as soon as they fill up. We recommend setting off in the morning for the smoothest journey.
