Chachapoyas Backpackers Hostal Boutique

Folded across three floors on Jr. Primavera 150, this boutique hostal in Chachapoyas sits six blocks from the Plaza de Armas and within easy reach of the tour operators running treks to Kuelap fortress and the Gocta waterfall — two of Peru's most undervisited sites.

The property runs a tour desk, bicycle rental, and cooking classes alongside massage services unusual for a hostal at this price tier. Rooms include kitchenettes, refrigerators, and breakfast-in-room delivery, which suits the long layover nights common before early Kuelap departures. A 9.6 rating across 346 reviews places it consistently above most licensed hotels in the Amazonas region.

Chachapoyas itself sits at 2,335 metres, making acclimatisation an early priority. The hostal's access to healthcare professionals on request is a practical differentiator for altitude-affected arrivals.
