Good quality place to stay, lovely welcome even though we arrived 6.30am off overnight bus. Cheap, good breakfast included, use of kitchen, views of mountains.

An adobe-style hostel built up in the hills above Huaraz by an English couple, Alex & Bruni. Amazing spot with fantastic views as well as home comforts like orthopaedic mattresses and home grown English-style pub food. They have a hostel in Huaraz too, but take the opportunity to visit their lodge in the mountains.
If you haven't got time for the Huayhuash circuit, this is a great trek with spectacular scenery. We went with Huascaran Adventure Travel - great guide and much better food and kit than some rival operators. We booked through the Albergue Churup in Huaraz, which was a good place to stay.
