Fodor's Expert Review Enjoy Hotel del Desierto

If you need a break from footloose South American travels, this hotel is just the indulgent space, with a sprawling casino, spa, restaurant, and spacious rooms with big, comfortable beds. The modern entrance ramp is built in great contrast to the sprawling 19th-century ruins of the Huanacha Metal Foundry across the road, which, in itself is worth a visit. You tend to get lower prices with online promotions and by booking well in advance.
