Amazing stay! Great host, very kind and fun. Free sunset walk in the desert with their puppy.
The puppy Aki is very well trained, so don't be worried if you are allergic. He sits and looks cute, and leaves you alone unless you want to interact. He photobombed a few of my sunset photos. His back left leg skips sometimes, it's something he's done since he was born. They don't know why, but it's cute and he doesn't seem hurt. I think maybe he's just having fun.
I told them about my cat allergy and they made sure to keep the cat away, the bean bags and hammocks are safe if you have allergies. There was no fur in my bed, so I slept nice without itches.
He brought a fan into my room because it gets quite hot. Big bathrooms with hot water in the showers. I saw them clean the swimming pool each morning.
Food is good in big Peruvian portions. They made sure my meals were without onions since I can't eat them. He let me store my granadillas in the fridge. No free water refills, but he walked me to a tienda a block away and you can get a big 3L bottle for 4 soles.
I booked the Ballestas boat + Paracas tour through them for 100 soles with a group (smaller private tour is 130 soles). The tour company he works with in town is very nice, they let me use their toilet before and after the tour and called the host to make sure I got picked up.
Free ride to/from town each day after check-in, which is fine because the town is small and you can walk around it after your tours, no need to stay in town. Pickup from the bus station was 12 soles with the hotel (taxis at the station ask for 15).
I booked the direct transfer to Huacachina for 30 soles. They walked me to the corner to...
Read moreThis place is a Sanctuary, away from the craziness of town. The perfect place to relax and chill out and plan your next adventure....whether it is kiting, visiting the national park or hiring a bike and exploring, Moises and Odon are there to help with everything and anything. This place has such a nice vibe - loads of hammocks, shade, yoga mats, swing chairs, a pool, various games are dotted around the place and the rooms are nice too. I stayed in the double with ensuite and loved it. Really clean, plenty of hot water, fan in the room (which I rarely needed) and some nice touches here and there (eg. plants, artwork, cat called Alex etc). Veronica is an incredible cook - recommend the pumpkin stew and quinoa patties. She really goes the extra mile to make sure you have everything you need. Coffee is good too...and Pisco Sours! I even got a bonus massage by Moises's mum! Loved this place. They include a free return lift into town and you can walk further along yourself to the kite beach or national park...or they'll take you there for a small fee - cheaper than the local cabs. This really is a find - book soon so you...
