Global Family Backpackers

Lima


A small brick home with parquet floors, a shared kitchen and games such as foosball and ping-pong. It’s uncluttered and tranquil, bordering on dull – an advantage if you just crave some rest. The family management is kind but fairly new to tourism. Be warned: the top-floor rooms have bathrooms one flight down.
