Gloria's Hostel

The had set and it was almost dark when we reached Gloria's Hostel. Luckily, she was in her lawn and invited us in. A double room was S/ 10 per person and the dinner would be S/ 10 extra. The breakfast would be be S/ 8 per person and drinks as per actuals. That is a very good price considering we were in the middle of nowhere with no other alternate nearby.
We took a twin room and immediately went to take a shower since there is no electricity in the rooms or the shared bathrooms. The bathrooms had hot water and it was so refreshing after the long day of hike.
After that, we sat in the common dining area and chatted with the other people staying at the place. The dinner was served at 7:30 pm and it was amazing. It was a 3 course meal with vegetable soup, followed by rice and cottage cheese stew and flam as the dessert.
After the hearty meal and exchange of lot of travel stories we all went back to sleep. We were planning to have breakfast at 6 am and then have an early start to the next day's trek before the sun became harsh during mid day.Read more
