Coastal Region Hostels

Although this once tranquil fishing hamlet is now a popular destination on Peru's 'Gringo Trail', it has clung proudly to its fishing roots. These narrow boats, made from the same reeds used by the Uros in the Lake Titicaca region, are still in use today.

They're known as 'Caballitos de Tortora', meaning "little horses" because of the way they are 'ridden' by the fishermen who use them.

If you wake up early enough (and I mean early; these fishermen are already casting their bait before the sun rises) you can witness an age old tradition in practice.

"The staff was nice. They waited for our arrival, communicated via WhatsApp and arranged our transport back to the airport. This hostel is 10 minutes from the airport, but not in a location you want to walk in. We arrived late, had a safe place to sleep and left early and it was fine for that. For the price, this was what I expected. I appreciated having an inexpensive option so close to the airport."
