Aventura Hostels

This felt much more like staying in a home than a hostel, and it’s one of the best places we’ve stayed in during five months of travel across Europe, Asia, and Peru. The family running it are wonderfully warm, welcoming, and helpful. At check-in they gave us a map and showed us nearby markets and attractions. It’s in a quiet area, but still close to everything. They also helped us find the collectivo stations and arranged a taxi for our departure, letting us keep the room for an extra half hour at no charge while we waited. Very good value for money. Our room was spacious, well equipped, and had lots of big windows. The bed was so comfortable, with soft, fluffy blankets and duvets. The electric shower was instantly hot every time. Towels were provided, and they gave us free soap and lent us a hair dryer for our whole stay. We also loved the refillable liquid hand soap dispenser. Their laundry service was excellent and affordable: as of January 2026, it cost 6 soles/kg, and laundry dropped off in the morning came back that evening. Breakfast was included, with coffee, delicious eggs, bread, jam, butter, and milk. One of us is gluten intolerant, so they brought out a bowl of hot water for instant oats. The fruit selection varied, including mango, papaya, apple, blueberries, avocado, and banana. It was always nicely prepared and perfectly ripe. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

After the three of us got back from the Salkantay Trek, this hostel was just right for resting and unwinding. We were glad we booked Eco Aventura Hostel. It’s a small, family-run place, and they go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay. The location was perfect 👌🏻

The staff were the friendliest, and she arranged transport for us easily and smoothly without being pushy or trying to sell anything we didn’t want. We had a great stay in a private room, just the two of us, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, especially compared with other hostels we’d stayed at around Peru. After our first night we chose to extend our stay by another day so we could relax. 10/10, we’d definitely come back and recommend it!

We came here twice, once before and again after our Salkantay trip. It was easily the best hostel we stayed in during our time in South America, with a peaceful feel at night and a great place to relax. We tried a room on the middle floor and one on the roof terrace, and both were spotless. The beds were made every day. For the price, we were really impressed and would recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet stay. The woman who looks after the hostel spoke great English and was helpful whenever she could be. I’d give it more than five stars if I could!
