Cheap and delicious food

Although Cusco is a city for foodies, you don’t need to go far to get your fill of tasty treats. Magicpackers offers a mix of comforting western food and traditional Peruvian, all for a steal of a price.

The Magic Burger which comes complete with chips costs just 12 soles and you can also chow down on tasty cheese and ham tequeños accompanied by home-made guacamole. 

Although sometimes hostel food can be lacking in substance and flavour, this is not the case with Magicpackers who actually provided one of the best burgers I had in Cusco!

Vibrant artwork

There is no disputing that Magicpackers is a cool hostel. Beautiful hand painted artwork adorns the walls all over the hostel and appears to educate backpackers about how to truly experience another culture.

Magicpackers catchphrase is, always be a traveller and never a tourist, that is definitely a message that backpackers can relate to!

Perfect location

Situated only a couple of minutes from the San Pedro market, Magicpackers is nicely tucked off of the main tourist drag whilst still being close to everything. 

The Plaza de Armas is around a 10-minute walk away and there is a road next to the hostel which is convenient as a tour pick-up point. Cheap eats frequent all of the surrounding streets, although the food at Magicpackers is great so you may not want to leave!
