In reply to Kartik Jain. Years later I still rave about the hostels in Peru... I haven't been to a country with a better collection of them! Thanks for the suggestion for next time!

Hostels in Peru were definitely one of the highlights of my trip! And crazy cheap. We never payed more than $40/night and that’s on the high side! The coolest was probably Eco Quechua Lodge in Santa Teresa, which felt like a treehouse in the middle of the jungle.

In reply to Angela. That is the full price for the room.

In reply to Alex. I'm just wondering for private rooms you were mentioning about $30. If I'm traveling with my boyfriend is that $30 per person or for the room?

In reply to Camels & Chocolate. I've been really impressed with the quality of some! Part II and III will reveal some duds as well, but I guess those are anywhere...

It’s funny how South America has so many nicer hostels than the ones I’ve found in Europe, and I’d venture to say they’re a fraction of the price, too!

The actual hostel is nice though, very clean, three computers and good wifi. Great location too. It’s just opposite Milhouse Cusco I noticed, which I think if I were to go back I’d probably try it out instead. I had such a great time at Milhouse Avenue in Buenos Aires – it was my first stop alone and I’d gathered a group of friends in an instant. The staff are also lovely!

In reply to Stephanie. I actually thought that hostel would be fantastic considering the price and the fact that it was a Lonely Planet pick! I have to say though that many of the hostels I've been to have had just bread and tea for breakfast... avocado would be a welcome addition :)

In reply to Alex. Ah I wish I could remember the names but the only one I can think of from Peru is EcoPackers in Cusco. Stayed in a 20 bed dorm. I remember the showers were good and the beds comfy but the breakfast selection was absolutely poor... literally just avocado and bread (by this time on my trip I was sick to death of avocado!).
