Self Catering Accommodation in Chivay

Big rooms, and kitchen with everything you need- as described. Located close to the Plaza de Armas and main streets of town. We enjoyed a lovely walk to the bridge, ruins and mirradors and took advantage of the fresh local produce to cook our own food. We’re travelling on a budget so this place was perfect. Alely was an incredible host! Super friendly, very responsive on WhatsApp (this is how pretty much everything seems to be done in Peru- even booking activities and buses). Alely stored our bags for the 3 days while we did the Cañon del Colca walk (we stayed here at the start and end of our trip due to catching the 4M bus directly to Cusco so we didn’t have to go back via Arequipa). When we came back our bags were ready and waiting for us. I would have loved to spend an extra night here to acclimatise as it is a lot higher than Arequipa and you will feel it. Overall we had a great time and felt very comfortable and at home.

The hotel, built in 2019, is a family business driven by the lovely Senior Pedro. The whole staff is very professional and helpful. You will find someone speaking English in case your Spanish is struggling. Rooms are clean with new furniture and beds are very comfortable .Some rooms have a balcony to enjoy the mountains. And you can access the rooftop to get a view on the whole city. It's definitely the perfect stop for everyone coming from or going to the Colca Canyon.

Great value for money. Fab to have use of the kitchen. Lovely place: beautiful communal spaces and really nice rooms.

Very original stay, strong recommendation!
