Mancos · Yungay · Áncash, Peru

A home at the foot of Huascarán

Alex’s House is a family-run country house in Mancos, in the heart of Peru’s Callejón de Huaylas valley. A simple place to rest, eat well and head out to explore the Andes.

Alex’s house

Not a hotel. A home.

There’s no front desk and no numbered rooms. There’s a garden facing the snow-capped peaks, a kitchen you can use as your own, and a family that knows every corner of the Callejón de Huaylas.

Elizabeth and her family welcome you with calm, honest tips and a real wish for you to experience Mancos the way locals do.

Where we are

Mancos, in the heart of the Callejón de Huaylas

A traditional town in Yungay province, on the banks of the Santa River and at the foot of Huascarán, Peru’s highest mountain. From here the Llanganuco Lakes, Laguna 69 and Yungay’s Campo Santo are all close by.
