Amaru Inca is a delightful hotel in the heart of San Blas & a. 5 minute walk from the Plaza de Armas. The property is an old Spanish colonial home, well preserved & once you step in off the busy Calle de San Blas it is quiet & serene. I would highly recommend it for anyone coming and wants to be really close to the historic out of town. We loved our one night stay there and would definitely come back.
