Where To Stay In Amazonas
The accommodation in the Department of Amazonas largely reflects the spectacular archaeological and natural environment in which it is located.
From lodges designed for viewing hummingbirds, such as the rare and beautiful Marvellous Spatuletail, in the shadow of Kuelap Fortress; to one overlooking Gocta Falls; to a guesthouse in the grounds of a Mummy Museum, the properties are idiosyncratic and exciting.
Gocta Lodge, Cocachimba
Spectacularly-located lodge in striking distance of Gocta Falls.
“Gocta Lodge was the most spectacular [accommodation] with the falls and wide lawns and flowers.”
“Located in such a scenic place with the view on Gocta waterfall from my balcony where I spent these few days watching the sunrises and sunsets over the mountain ridge in such vivid colors and listened to the sounds of night, gazing at the sky full of stars.
It is truly unforgettable.”
FUNDo Achamaqui, Chachapoyas
Converted ranch in lovely Utcubamba River valley.
Casa Mallqui, Leymebamba
Characterful accommodation attached to Leymebamba’s Mummy Museum.
Gocta Natura, Cocachimba
A homely, family-run property overlooking Gocta Falls.
Kentitambo, Leymebamba
Homely, intimate lodge in beautiful gardens.
“I stayed the night at kenti tambo in leymebamba, which is an absolute marvel. They gave me the best meal i’ve had in a long time and the whole property is gorgeous!”
“Next was the town of Leymebamba where we had booked 2 nights at the Kentitambo Inn. Also called the Hummingbird Inn, it was a delightful place with beautiful rooms and great food.
Although we didn’t see as many hummingbirds as we had anticipated, we really enjoyed the stay and the visit to the nearby museum to see mummies and artifacts that had been gathered from nearby tombs.”
La Xalca, Chachapoyas
A purpose-built, Colonial-style hotel.
Centrally-located in Chachapoyas.
“La Xalca Hotel in Chachapoyas was lovely.”
