Ecolodge Casa del Montañista

Six stone-and-timber cabins above the Quechcap hamlet on Huaraz's outskirts, Ecolodge Casa del Montañista sits at the base of the Cordillera Blanca, where Huascarán's snowfields are visible from the terrace on clear mornings.

The lodge organises bike tours, guided hikes, and walking circuits directly from the property — useful given that trailheads into Huascarán National Park lie within short driving distance. A tour desk handles permits and transport, and the airport shuttle removes the need to negotiate taxis at altitude.

A coffee house, bar, restaurant, and snack bar keep guests fed without leaving the grounds. The rating of 9.7 across 66 reviews points to unusually attentive service for an unclassified property at 3,050 metres.
