Top choice in North Coast
At the northern end of Huanchaco, and top of the pops in the budget stakes, Naylamp has one building on the waterfront and a second, larger building behind the hotel. Great budget rooms share a spacious sea-view patio, and the lush camping area has perfect sunset views. Kitchen, laundry service, hammocking zone and a cafe are all thrown in.
The beds have mosquito nets, so you can leave your windows open at night. Ask for a room up top to catch cooling ocean breezes.
