Highly recommended

The host is very friendly, helpful and knows a lot about the area- not only about Kuelap, but also about other places close to Nuevo Tingo, like Macro and Silic. He speaks English fluently.

Perfect!

We had a great time here! The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. The common areas are great, and the back garden is like a peaceful oasis! Our host, JJ, was incredible! He was so welcoming and helpful during our stay, and went above and beyond our expectations. He walked us to the gondola, showed us the way to Silic, and helped us organise our night-bus to Cajamarca. The cat, Nala, is wonderful and very friendly, and loves a good chat!

Home from home in a beautiful spot!

This place was so welcoming and chilled. It was like home from home! The owner JJ was super helpful and made the most delicious breakfast. We stayed two nights and felt very relaxed here. The veranda at the back overlooks the valley and was a great place to stargaze. Thanks for having us!

Lovely hostel, great host.

When I arrived the collectivo stopped at the property & JJ the owner was there to meet me, a great welcome & throughout my stay nothing was too much trouble, including setting up my trip to Kuélap. The room was spacious & clean, the bed was very comfortable & I had a great nights sleep. Plenty of hot water for showering after a hike around Kuelap. Breakfast was delicious with lots of local produce & was different every day unlike most hostels I have stayed at. It is great place to stay & I would definitely stay here again.

Practical and great value.

The host Juan José is what makes this place shine. He's likeable and really put in an effort to make us feel at home. He will also help you organise whatever you want to do while staying with him. The location between the town square and the cable car station (that will take you to Kuélap) is very convenient. The rooms are small but clean and comfortable. Best equipped shared kitchen ever!

We arrived at the eco house and immediately felt at home. The house invites you to relax and feel good and its natural construction makes it very cozy. The hostel had the best equipped kitchen on our trip. When we arrived, Jayjay gave us all the information about Nuevo Tingo and the surrounding area and then showed us the best spots for shopping and eating in the village. Jayjay helped us with every question that came up and it was not too much for him to organize and book our onward journey. We had a wonderful time in Nuevo Tingo and the 3 days we had booked turned into 5. We really enjoyed the hospitality. Our highlights were the pizza evening when Jayjay and his friend Gustavo made pizza for all of us. It was sooo delicious. And the trip to the Macro ruins that Jayjay accompanied us on. Thanks again for everything. We can highly recommend the hostel

JJ and his home are great!

JJ is an excellent host and made our stay memorable. He showed us around in town, shared some hikes with us, created a really nice breakfast and he even joined us to hike to Kuélap. It was great we could use the fresh organic herbs in the garden and use the rice cooker. The beds were super comfy and the shared bathroom (that was basically private as there were nog other guests) was always clean.

A little jewel in the mountains

The whole building is very beautiful, the room very cozy, well equiped and everything extremely clean. The bed is very confortable and finnaly we found a shower with real hot water. The host JJ is super friendly and unbelivebly helpful, he basically arranged our visit to Kuelap and also our departured to chachapoyas. We couldn’t have ask for more. We wish we could have been longer because the area is super beautiful and there is so much to see.

Lovely stay near to Kuelap cable car

A lovely place to stay, very close to Kuelap cable car (5 minute walk) and to central plaza (5 minute walk). Lovely clean rooms, comfy beds, hot water, clean bathroom. Everything you could need! Nice place to sit and relax outside, and the host even brought us tea and coffee. Very kind host JJ happy to help with anything, he can organise trips to Kuelap (you need a reservation). Safe parking for our motorbikes outside, JJ even covered them up when it rained whilst we were out. Definitely stay here if you come to Nuevo Trigo!

The host is very lovely and going out of his way to help me with everything I needed. The house, rooms and bathroom are very cosy and beautiful with real wood construction. Everything is new. The kitchen is great too, with a very nice view.
