José Olaya neighborhood, Huaraz — at the foot of the Cordillera Blanca
Hotel Morales is located at Pasaje Ucanan 132, by the plazuela of the traditional José Olaya neighborhood and behind the UGELP, in Huaraz, Áncash. It is a historic and quiet area, with cobblestone streets that survived the 1970 earthquake, adobe houses and clay-tiled roofs — free from the noise of downtown, yet only 10-15 minutes on foot from the Plaza de Armas.
Sitting slightly elevated to the east, the hotel enjoys open views of the Cordillera Blanca and an atmosphere free of smoke and noise — ideal for resting before your mountain activities. The neighborhood also offers authentic, peaceful daily life, with local fairs on weekends.
