Отель Ruta Alterna Backpacker, Кахамарка, Перу

The owner Carlos. What a great man he is, he indulged me with the culture and shared with me inside information about the people and the way of life in Cajamarca. I would stay there again anytime just to sit and have a chat with him

Excellent accommodation about 1km north of the Plaza de Armas. Our room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and even came with a TV with Netflix! The kitchen had everything you need if you want to cook a meal, the bathroom was pretty good, the showers had hot water. The free breakfast was very nice, and we enjoyed it both days. A nice little outside area was available to relax too. Overall, a really good accommodation in Cajamarca and would undoubtedly recommend!

Overall, a really great spot, and well run as well. Highly recommend.

Ruta Alterna is such a gem, a true home away from home. We especially loved: the great vibe, the most comfortable beds in Peru (as other reviews have rightly attested), the great kitchen, cozy indoor and outdoor common areas, super clean bathrooms, hot water, delicious breakfast, perfect location - the list goes on. Carlos is the man and his care shows in every part of the hostel. We came for 2 nights and ended up staying for 4, would have stayed longer in a heartbeat. Love this place and already missing Carlos and the dogs!

This is a true backpacker's hostel. Carlos is a great host. The facilities are great with easy access to the kitchen. Places like this are becoming less common as time goes on. A true gem of a hostel. Muchas Gracias a Carlos!
