Our story in the heart of the Cordillera Blanca

From a young age, we dreamed of creating a place that felt more like home than a hotel — a space where travelers could truly experience the spirit of mountaineering in the Cordillera Blanca.

Inspired by the mountains and local architecture, La Casa de Maruja was built with a clear vision: to offer a warm, authentic environment in harmony with nature. Every detail reflects our commitment to hospitality, where sincerity, respect, and genuine care for our guests are at the center of everything we do.

Over the years, that dream has grown into a trusted accommodation in Huaraz, welcoming travelers from all over the world. Today, we are proud to be recognized not only for our comfort and service, but also for our deep connection to adventure tourism and mountaineering in the region.

Our spacious private rooms are designed to provide comfort after a day of adventure. Each room includes 24-hour hot water, comfortable new mattresses, and clean bed linens and towels.

Start your day with a free homemade breakfast, prepared fresh with coffee, tea, juice, and vegetarian options. We also speak English and are happy to assist you with any travel arrangements during your stay.

As experienced mountaineers of the Cordillera Blanca, we can personally assist you in organizing trekking and climbing activities, including routes such as the Santa Cruz Trek.

We also offer:

  • Free bus station pickup
