If you’re planning a memorable New Year’s celebration in Peru, we highly recommend making a reservation at the picturesque “Decameron El Pueblo” hotel. I had the pleasure of visiting with my family to celebrate New Year 2023. To that end, I can confidently say that every minute spent there was truly worth it.
Tips:
- How to get there? The best way is by taxi, as public transportation in the area is chaotic and limited. If you have your own car, the hotel provides ample parking space. It should take you between 35 minutes to 1-hour drive from Lima city center.
- Room Types: Ensure you choose a room according to your preferences, as there are various types, and, most importantly, check their accessibility if you’re traveling with elderly people.
- How long should I stay? We recommend a minimum stay of 3 nights for a relaxed and enjoyable experience, starting from the afternoon of December 30th until January 2nd.

El Pueblo, A Beautiful Andean Village
Firstly, the hotel’s name “El Pueblo”, which means “The Village” in Spanish, perfectly matches its beautiful surroundings and atmosphere. It resembles an Andean village with cobblestone streets and slopes leading to various types of rooms.
In fact, some rooms resemble cozy Andean cottages, while others have a more modern design. It’s worth noting that some rooms are situated on a hill, which may be suitable for younger or more adventurous guests. Therefore, if you’re traveling with elderly family members who might have difficulty with slopes, it’s advisable to request rooms that are easily accessible.
Activities and Entertainment for Everyone
Secondly, El Pueblo offers a wide range of recreational, playful, sports, and cultural activities to entertain the entire family. We really enjoyed all the activities such as:
- Pool games and competitions, including a water slide.
- Cocktail-making classes where you can learn to prepare Pisco Sour, Sangria, and other Peruvian cocktails.
- Target shooting with shotguns and archery.
- Cajón peruano lessons (a Peruvian musical instrument).
- Festejo dance classes (a typical Afro-Peruvian dance).
- Yoga, tennis, aerobics.
- Trekking on the hillside (be sure to wear proper shoes).
For night owls, there’s a disco, karaoke, and a cinema. Additionally, there are theater performances and shows every night at the plaza.
To encourage participation in various competitions, games, quizzes, and contests, they reward you with coupons of different values. During the program, there’s a day when items are auctioned off, and you can use your coupons as a form of payment.
Moreover, since it’s an all-inclusive resort, you can rest assured that you’ll enjoy the richness of Peruvian and international cuisine. The hotel boasts a massive restaurant that serves buffet-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If that’s not enough, there are also little shops selling sandwiches, ceviche, ice cream, coffee, cocktails, and more, just a request away.
Celebrating New Year 2023
For the New Year’s celebration, the main event was scheduled for the night of the 31st. They had musical groups to liven up the party and a spacious dance floor. We didn’t have to worry about anything; they provided dinner, hats, glasses, garlands, and party favors. All you need to do is be ready for a fantastic time.
Lastly, speaking from personal experience, my family and I had a fantastic time at Decameron El Pueblo hotel. It was an unforgettable New Year’s celebration and a relaxing vacation rolled into one. The lively atmosphere, delicious food, and wide array of activities left us with cherished memories. Hence, if you’re looking for the perfect place to ring in the New Year with your loved ones, El Pueblo Hotel in Lima, Peru, is an excellent choice!
