Q & A
What would you have changed?
I would not have gone to Huaraz in the rainy season
Transportation Tips?
I definitely recommend traveling with collectivos. Basically big vans with someone sticking their head out the window and shouting the direction they’re going. It’s a great way to save money and spend time with locals
Any surprises?
I was not expecting the cold in Huaraz at all. Be prepared!!
Lodging
Hostel Climbing Point
a hotel on the beach
Arequipay Backpackets Hostel. Cool vibe, free breakfast, great location, however the people in my dorm were always asleep by 9 pm and upset when others came in at 10 and were making any sort of small noise (maybe just the people in my room and not the hostel)
