Cabañas el Triunfo

A charming little boutique hotel right in El Triunfo’s historic mining town. A handy place to stay while exploring the town, or just to take it easy.

Breakfast was really good, and we ate it while watching an endemic hummingbird build her nest. The room and the rest of the property felt clean and welcoming, and the internet worked well. The owner-operators were friendly and accommodating. It’s a unique property in a unique town, with distinctive rooms. We had a great stay and plan to come back. One thing to know: El Triunfo shuts down at 5 PM, so eat before then or bring food with you.

The cabin had a good view and felt tucked away from the other guests. There was a table and two chairs outside, plenty of room indoors, and a big bed. The shower room was great, with a pretty sink, and we could park right outside. After check-in, someone showed us up the hill to the cabin. Down below, there’s a pool and a shared breakfast space where you can also cook dinner. Plenty of loungers and chairs are set out outside. It’s a little off the road, but worth finding. We were quite impressed with the hotel and El Triunfo.

Crossing the creek bed could be tricky in a small vehicle when the water is high. It was mostly dry when we came through. We’re bikepackers, and this place suited us well. A small family runs the quaint business with a very friendly staff. My partner and I rode up to the beautiful compound and were struck by the grounds. We stayed in a cabin and were glad we chose it. There’s a huge shared area for games, grilling, picnics, swimming, or whatever you feel like. We’d come back if we’re in the area again.
