Caroline lodging

Eight distinct safety measures, from cctv monitoring and smoke alarms to round-the-clock security staff, underpin Caroline Lodging's appeal to solo trekkers using Huaraz as a base for Cordillera Blanca expeditions.

The shared kitchen, tour desk, and walking-tour programme serve mountaineers who arrive self-catering and need logistical support. Soundproof rooms and private check-in suit early alpine starts; a sun deck and terrace offer open views of the surrounding peaks between outings.

Family guests find baby safety gates, an indoor play area, and a game room with ping-pong and board games. Temporary art galleries rotate through common areas, giving the property a local cultural edge unusual at this altitude.
