Fodor's Expert Review Hotel El Ingenio

Av. Los Cipreses 545, Cajamarca, Cajamarca, Peru

Like many other hotels in the area, this one is in a renovated hacienda with extensive grounds, but it is the best bargain in Cajamarca and only a 10-minute walk from the plaza. There are also a lovely central courtyard with a giant orange tree, well-kept gardens, and a charming wooden bar. Each room is simply decorated with antique-looking hardwood furniture and large, comfy beds.

PROS

  • quality service at a very reasonable price
  • beautiful, well-tended grounds
  • friendly staff

CONS
