Peru Accommodation

Hotels

Lima and Cusco have the largest choice of hotels in Peru. Other cities and areas where 5- and 4-star hotels can be found are Arequipa, Cajamarca, Chiclayo, Colca Canyon, Ica, Iquitos, Puno, the Sacred Valley and Trujillo (the grading does not always match international standards). Throughout Lima and in most major towns, there are many economical pensiones and hospedajes (guest houses) to be found. The quality of accommodation in the provinces varies considerably, but hotels are frequently of a good standard and some properties are considered among the finest in the world. In jungle areas accommodation ranges from 5-star eco-resorts to hammocks strung outdoors, though most options fall somewhere in between. Hotel prices in the provinces are lower than in the capital.

Grading: Hotels are classified by the star system, the highest and most luxurious being 5 stars. The level of comfort, quality of service and general infrastructure are the criteria for inclusion in each grade. Prices vary accordingly. All accommodation prices are subject to 19% tax (IGV). Hotels of the higher categories might also add 1-13% service charges. It is advisable to reserve a room during the peak tourist season (June to September).

Homestay Accommodation

It is possible to arrange a stay in a Peruvian family home, particularly if you enrol in a Spanish-language course. PromPerú are able to offer further information (see Contact Addresses).

Camping/Caravanning

Other than designated spots on popular trekking routes, no formal arrangements exist in Peru.

Youth Hostels

There are around 20 youth hostels in the country with dormitory, single or twin rooms. They usually have a bar or cafe and a kitchen.
