The Best Hotel in Lagunas de Llanganuco, The North Coast and Northern Highlands

This remote lodge perched on the threshold of Huascarán National Park is the ultimate place to get away from it all. Wedged between Llanganuco and Rajururi gorges and adjacent to Keushu Lake, it's an accommodation that serves as a base camp for extended hikes into the cordillera; hikers typically stay here to acclimatize, take day treks, find guides, or rent equipment. The lodge itself has various accommodations, from no-frills standard rooms to luxury suites with balconies and fireplaces, and there are a restaurant and bar. Phone signals on the mountain are weak, so email is the lodge's preferred mode of communication.
