If you’re anything like me or other hopsters you enjoy the convenience of hostels when traveling. Here are the best hostels in Paracas to make the most of your time there.
If you’re anything like me or most other hopsters you enjoy the convenience, camaraderie and high value of youth hostels and backpacker’s hostels while traveling. However, not every hostel is for everyone. Some people like an energetic, social atmosphere where the booze and songs flow freely, while others prefer a quiet spot to unwind, relax, and plan the next day. Fortunately, whether you’re a party person or love peace and quiet, Paracas has something for everyone.
Kokopelli is by far the most popular hostel in Paracas, and for good reason: It’s right on the beach, has a well stocked bar, great common areas, and curtains around each dorm bed for privacy. Kokopelli is perfect for the party animal in everyone, and is a strong nightlife spot in its own right, and the management runs nightly activities such as ping pong tournaments for guests. Kokopelli has a special deals for Peru Hop passengers, offering 20% off dorm rooms and 10% off private rooms.
Paracas Backpacker’s House is conveniently located in the center of town, near Peru Hop’s Main hop-on/hop-off point. The owners, Alberto and Lidia, are very knowledgeable about local attractions and can help organize trips and suggest activities in Paracas and the surrounding areas, including Huacachina, Islas Ballestas, and the surrounding cities. Paracas Backpackers House is quiet and peaceful, and contains a kitchen that travellers are free to use to prepare food. Paracas Backpacker’s house offers Peru Hop riders a 10% discount on all lodgings.
Icthus Backpackers is a simple, family run affair for folks who want a quiet, relaxed experience away from the more party-oriented hostels. A basic kitchen is available for making your own food, or you can pay 10 soles for an excellent homemade breakfast. While not as well known as its fancier competitors, Icthus offers excellent service and a personal touch for an excellent price.
Paracas 360 Eco Hostel is for those who are looking for something a little different than the typical hostel experience. Instead of rooms in a building used as dorms, 360 Eco Hostel is made up of a variety of camper trailers converted into dorms and bedrooms. It includes a nearby bar owned by the hostel proprietors, which hosts events for guests every weekend. The hostel is located right next to the terminal for trips out to the Ballestas Islands, and thus is perfectly situated for ecotourism.
