SOS Medical Group

Your health and safety are our priority. If you become sick or injured during your stay, SOS Medical Group provides professional, bilingual medical care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Located on Av. Las Gardenias in Wanchaq, SOS Medical Group is one of Cusco's most trusted private medical clinics. Even better, their doctors can come directly to Loki Hostel, so you can receive professional medical attention without having to travel while you're feeling unwell. They also provide emergency care, specialist consultations, laboratory testing, imaging, hospitalization, and ambulance services.
The clinic works with most international travel insurance providers, and in many cases guests only need to pay their insurance deductible, making treatment simple and stress-free. English-speaking doctors are available and have extensive experience treating international travelers, including altitude sickness, stomach illnesses, infections, injuries, and travel-related medical concerns.
Whether you need a quick consultation, emergency treatment, or a doctor to visit you at the hostel, SOS Medical Group is here to help.

What should I do if I feel sick or have altitude sickness in Cusco?

Cusco sits at around 3,400m, so altitude can affect anyone. Take it easy, stay hydrated and drink coca tea. If you need medical help, ask reception and we will connect you with a trusted, English-speaking medical service.

Are the recommended services included in my stay?

These are independent local partners rather than part of your room rate, so you pay them directly. We recommend them because we trust them, and reception is always happy to help you arrange anything.
