Expect a warm welcome and a rustic yet comfortable base for exploring the Tabaconas Namballe National Sanctuary. The journey itself offers a glimpse into rural Peruvian life.

Hostal Flores offers simple, clean rooms with private bathrooms and delicious, home-cooked meals.

It feels like a comfortable home away from home, perfect for travelers seeking an immersive experience rather than opulent amenities.
