Los Pinos Lodge

Top choice in Huaraz & the Cordilleras


This rustic-chic inn in a gated mansion set back from the road has been thoughtfully decorated inside and out. It offers outstanding rooms verging on boutique standard that could easily compete with anything in Huaraz. There are several great courtyards, a relaxing garden and a wonderful little cocktail bar in which to sit and chat.

The tasteful local paintings compete with the colorful Andean flowers in the grounds outside
