Get to know Callao

Hostels in Callao: The Ultimate District Guide

Callao is Lima’s historic port district, a place where colonial history, street art, and coastal culture come together. Unlike the more polished areas of Lima, Callao has a raw charm that makes it a unique stay for budget travelers. It’s a district where travelers can explore Peru’s maritime past, wander through open-air galleries, and eat some of the best ceviche in the country.

Staying in hostels in Callao means you’re close to historic forts, colorful art-filled streets, and bustling fishing piers. The area’s rich history dates back to the Spanish conquest, and it remains one of Peru’s most significant ports. Backpackers who love off-the-beaten-path destinations will find plenty to explore in this underrated district.

Transportation

Callao is well-connected to the rest of Lima, making it easy for travelers to explore beyond the port district.

  • Metropolitano Bus: The closest station is in Bellavista, with connections to central Lima.
  • Public Buses: Several bus routes link Callao to Miraflores, San Isidro, and other key districts.
  • Airport Access: Callao is home to Jorge Chávez International Airport, making it a convenient location for early flights.

District Highlights

  • Fortaleza del Real Felipe: A massive Spanish-built fort from the 18th century, now a military museum.
  • La Punta: A relaxed coastal neighborhood with rocky beaches and fresh seafood restaurants.
  • Callao Monumental: A vibrant open-air gallery filled with street art, local workshops, and cultural events.
  • Islas Palomino: A short boat trip away, these islands are home to thousands of sea lions that visitors can swim alongside.
  • Plaza Grau: A historic square with statues and colonial buildings that reflect Callao’s naval past.

Food & Nightlife

Callao has some of the best seafood in Peru, along with traditional taverns where locals gather.

  • El Mirador: A seafood restaurant with unbeatable ceviche and ocean views.
  • La Caleta: A hidden gem in La Punta known for its fresh fish dishes.
  • Cabos: A relaxed bar offering pisco-based drinks and local beers.
  • El Bolivariano Callao: A historic tavern serving hearty Peruvian stews and traditional dishes.

Why Stay in Callao?

  • Rich History: The district is filled with colonial landmarks and naval history.
  • Unique Street Art Scene: Callao Monumental is a must-see for art lovers.
  • Seafood Paradise: Some of the freshest and most affordable seafood in Lima.
  • Close to the Airport: A practical option for travelers with early or late flights.

Final Thoughts

For travelers searching for hostels in Callao, this district offers an authentic and budget-friendly experience with a mix of history, art, and coastal charm. Whether you’re exploring the colonial forts, enjoying fresh seafood, or catching a boat to the Palomino Islands, Callao offers an alternative side of Lima that’s worth experiencing.
