Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real draw of staying at Hostel Glamour, given it's not a traditional safari lodge?

We love Hostel Glamour for its unique position right on the edge of the Santuario Histórico Bosque de Pómac. It offers an authentic, unpretentious basecamp for exploring this incredible dry forest, a world away from the usual safari circuit. Think of it as a charming guesthouse that puts you steps from phenomenal birdwatching and ancient ruins.

We're keen on seeing the dry forest wildlife. What should we expect at Hostel Glamour?

While not a Big Five destination, the Bosque de Pómac is a birdwatcher's paradise. We recommend waking early to spot the rare white-fronted ground pigeon and numerous other endemic species right from the guesthouse grounds. The lodge's guides are excellent at pointing out the subtle wonders of this unique ecosystem.

What's the best time of year to visit Hostel Glamour and the Bosque de Pómac?

We find the dry season, roughly from May to October, offers the most comfortable temperatures for exploring. The air is crisp, and wildlife tends to congregate near water sources, making sightings more reliable. Evenings can get cool, so pack layers.

Can you give us a sense of the atmosphere and amenities at Hostel Glamour?

Hostel Glamour feels like a welcoming, rustic retreat. Don't expect five-star luxury, but rather comfortable, clean rooms and a friendly communal atmosphere. We particularly enjoyed the simple, delicious meals prepared with local ingredients and the quiet evenings spent stargazing.

What are the practicalities like for getting to and around the Bosque de Pómac from Hostel Glamour?

Getting to the lodge usually involves a taxi or private transfer from a nearby town like Lambayeque. Once there, exploring the forest is best done on foot or by bicycle, which can often be arranged through the guesthouse. We found it incredibly peaceful to wander the trails independently after our guided excursions.
