We ended up spending 30 days at the backpackers during the Corona lockdown with 44 other people. The hostel was amazing during a very difficult time. All food was organised for us as well as daily activities - Spanish classes, yoga, cross-fit, movie nights, quiz nights, dress up - among many others The hostel is cool with lots of space and nice rooms, Manu and the volunteers were amazing. Can't thank them enough for all they did They took a lot of the stress away and made a real community

Atma Hostel & Yoga

ATMA is a brand new, friendly hostel and yoga studio at only a few steps from the beach of Huanchaco. A large balcony overlooks the ocean and the sound of the waves will put you to sleep at night. We have quality mattresses, hot water and a great Wi-Fi everywhere. Rooms have outside balconies and there are numerous benches, chairs and hammocks around to chill out alone or with friends. In a sunny garden we have 4 bunnies and a tortoise walking around free! The big living room is great for relaxing, studying or watching a movie. Our guest kitchen is the best equipped one in town. Free drinking water all day and coffee/tea in the morning. We have a beautiful yoga studio on the top floor overlooking the ocean. Our guests can take classes for a very small fee. Dani, our certified teacher, speaks English perfectly and yoga is her passion. There are surfboard racks, an outside shower and a there is a surfbreak right in front.

From 2 weeks to 3.5 months.

My best friend and I arrived in Huanchaco unknowingly the last night before the Peruvian government announced the COVID-19 quarantine. We were unsure and scared about the unknown state of Peru at the time and of the world. Our hostel began with a group of 27 people from all over the world in the same situation. The next day, Paul, the owner came and had a group meeting with all of us. He assured our safety and made it clear he would do everything he could to take care of us. While the world seemed to be falling apart, Huanchaco remained a slice of heaven. Food never ran low, spirits were high, and the community came together to step up. Paul took the time fix and upgrade the hostel, working diligently every day he came in. He wanted to make sure that when the world started traveling to Huanchaco again, his hostel would be the absolute best experience for the people who came. Paul’s dedication to his hostel, attention to the safely and well-being of the guests, and incredibly wonderful attitude stands out as being the best experience I think anyone could ask for. The hostel is clean and beautiful. The views of the ocean and surrounding mountains are unparalleled with any of the other hostels in huanchaco. There’s ample storage for surf racks and the location is perfect for several of the swells located half a block nearby. The yoga studio has a stunning view of the ocean and is the best yoga studio in the entire city. The rooms are all beautifully designed and all of the public spaces offer many comfortable places to sit, read, hangout with friends or Don Daco (resident turtle) and his bunny friends. I would recommend ATMA for the chiller traveler who wants to surf and make some friends. It’s not a party hostel but it’s a social hostel that you’re sure to make some friends at. Overall, would highly recommend traveling to Huanchaco to see the warm community of Huanchaco and eat delicious food. The local market, located several blocks away from ATMA, has many local fresh fruit and vegetables for INCREDIBLE prices. 10/10 would recommend and I will always look back at my almost 4 months at ATMA in huanchaco as some best times in my life. Thank you Paul for your love and dedication.

Punta Huanchaco Hostel

Best hostel experience in all my travels

Reviewed By ericlN2967XG

The hosts, Gigi and Dario are the best and kindest hostel hosts I've had in all my years of travel. Dario is very knowledgeable about the local goings-on as well as the local surf breaks. We surfed together once and from the info he gave me, I had some amazing surf sessions there. He also set us up with a day trip to Chicama and recommended a local surf shop from which we rented our boards. Gigi is so sweet. She always made sure that we were comfortable and happy and helped me book my taxi for the bus station. My friend and I originally booked for four nights. I ended up staying for almost two weeks, while my friend extended her stay to almost three weeks. The hostel is steps to the local surf breaks and to several restaurants, the beds are comfortable, the showers are hot, and the wi-fi is fast. Their rescued cats and dogs love to interact with the guests which really made this place feel more like home than a hostel. Can I give this place 100+ stars? We came as guests. We left as family. Muchos abrazos, Gigi and Dario and to your little critters. :)

My Friend Surf Hostal

My Friend has everything. If they don’t have it, they’ll find it or make it for you

Reviewed By 915leonardoe

We came looking for organic wax and Randal recommended Rob Machado Wax (actually no one else has it). My fiancee came looking for a surfboard, and we got into a fascinating discussion about surfboards, history, and shapers. We travelled by car from Lima to Mancora and “MyFreeend” is our favorite stop. It’s cozy and full of positive energy. You’ll get to meet Randal, Tia Anita, Chicama, and the staff, who would make you feel simply like home. It’s sad to say goodbye but we have to continue our trip. Thank you for your magic MyFriend, we’ll be back. “Con MyFreeeend no hay pierde Bro”

Hotel Huankarute

Very disappointing

Reviewed By Halles182

My friends and I stayed here as part of a tour group. We googled the hotel before arriving and it looked fabulous. However upon arrival we were highly disappointed. We had all arrived from Mancora off a night bus and were very thirsty in the heat. The hotel didn’t seem to have any water that they could offer or sell to us. The pool is so cold that half of us didn’t dare to go in which was a real shame as the surrounding area doesn’t have much going for it. The rooms are basic, with sloppy paintwork on the walls, stains on the sheets and marks all over the windows and mirrors, and the room doesn’t seem like it’s been dusted in a long time. The curtains are full of brown stains and the room smelled a little musty. By 5pm there was no hot water left for a shower. There are no bath mats in the rooms so the floor was soaked after we had attempted a shower, and the bath tiles are taped on. Our friends in another room told us they have a fridge with a foreign plug which doesn’t fit in the outlet so it was pointless in being there. We slept well, the beds are comfy, however breakfast was a disaster. When I arrived there were 5 people waiting for their food. It only took 5 mins for the lady to take my order (they only serve eggs and bread.) I asked for scrambled eggs, which came out half an hour later after 3 new tables joined and got theirs first. I was given tea bags and I asked several times for hot water which also came out half an hour later. The whole group got everything little by little. A friend got her bread 40 mins after her eggs, once breakfast was finished as she had to run into the kitchen and ask for them. I’m a restaurant manager and 4 tables is nothing to stress about especially when all you serve is eggs and bread. The coolest thing about this place is the dog and the tortoise, but other than that I wouldn’t recommend.

Huanchaco Surf Camp

Wonderful hospality

Reviewed By 551beel

I loved every minute of my stay here. Your hosts, Carla and Franciso (and their three cats and 3 dogs) are so warm and welcoming. Highlights of my time there were conversations with them both and a surf lesson with Francisco. I stayed in the top level bedroom with views and sounds of the sea and my own hammock. The house is a very short walk from the centre, far enough away to be removed from the noise and busyness but close enough to easily pop into town.
