Nice Hostel & Hotel in Huaraz

Selina Huaraz

Selina is a place where many travelers come together. Especially the suite and deluxe rooms are nicely decorated, and there is a nice dorm for budget travelers. The only downside is that they often organize a fun campfire night on the weekends. It's super fun, but if you go to bed early, you may be disturbed by the noise. If you plan on hiking early on the weekends, it's better to choose the next hotel, Akilpo Home.
