Hotel Chavín

North Coast


Barranca’s big-shot hotel has comfortable rooms that are perfectly preserved in a resplendent 1970s style, contrasting with striking new hardwood floors and flat-screen TVs. There's a karaoke bar and pool area out back, plus a decent attached restaurant, making this a one-stop shop for Barranca stopovers.
