Caroline's lodging is named for the daughter of Teo and Anita who all run this dirt cheap, super friendly hostel in Huaraz in the quieter southwest corner of town.

The family adopt each traveler as a son or daughter and they are intimately caught up in the life of everyone. Every whim is attended to and they go as far as to organize lunches and dinners out in the town or at their dinner table in the hostel (but they say only the nicest guests are invited for these outings). Teo even came out dancing with us last night until late late at the club!

Coqui, the cousin, organizes trekking, mountain biking, trips to archeological sites and such.

Internet is available for 1 sol an hour and the use of the kitchen is permitted at 2 soles for the gas. They sell water, toilet paper, beer and other essentials for the same price as the store and they will do laundry for 3 soles a kilo. Breakfast is included with a little something extra each day, could be a pancake or egg or cheese.

This hostel, being so cheap at 10 soles a night, is heavily frequented by huge groups of Israelis and they don't interact with other travelers so much.

Only caveat is that I was bitten up by bedbugs all over my body during the week there. In the rooms with wooden floors there are more of them, they explained to me.

I went straight to bed to try and get a couple of hours to get rid of the night bus sick… Soroche!

For my first day in the mountains I decided to acclimate gradually to the altitude and do a trip to the town of Chavin with the famous ancient ruins there. The owner of Caroline's Lodging, Teo, took me to the bus and I started along the route …Caroline's Lodging, Teo, took me to the bus and I started along the route with another 30 Peruvians and a Spanish-speaking guide. She talked about the area, the mountains, the history, the geographic details and some general information and I understood much… Chavin de Huaraz - Ancient Ruins
