About

Xperience Hostel – Your Home in the Heart of San Pedro

Your dream of San Pedro begins here — in warmth, in connection, in wonder.

At Xperience Hostel, we don’t just offer a place to stay — we promise you an experience.

This is where travelers gather around the kitchen table, where birthdays are celebrated with strangers who feel like old friends, where dinner is shared without asking, and where plans shift because you met the right people at the right time.

Whether you come for adventure, stillness, connection, or all of the above — this is where your Atacama story begins.

We’ve created a vibrant, social, and respectful space where the magic of San Pedro becomes something you live — through the people you meet, the comfort you feel, and the moments you never expected.

📍 Central and Well-Connected

2 minutes from a 24/7 Copec station (with ATM and essentials)

10-minute walk to Caracoles Street, San Pedro’s lively cultural hub

Close to traveler favorites like La Franchutería, Lola Bar, and El Diablillo

✨ Come for the Desert, Stay for the Magic

Born from the vision of young travelers, Xperience was created with adventurous spirit and a mature sense of connection

Today, it’s brought to life by thoughtful local hosts who carry that dream with care — grounding it in warmth, culture, and everyday magic

A place where arriving solo still feels like coming home

Meals are shared, birthdays celebrated, and sunrise hikes planned together — because here, connecting with others comes naturally

We’re not just here to book your tours — we’re passionate local guides, fluent in Português, Español, and English, who love helping you plan your journey

Every tour is crafted as a personal and meaningful experience, and yes — we offer better prices than the agencies, but more importantly, a far better time

🐾 Heads Up: Furry Friends Live Here Too

We share our space with a sweet dog and a cat.
If you’re allergic or not a fan of animals, this might not be your match.
But if you’re into cozy vibes and new companions, you’ll love it.

🏜️ The Desert Is Just Outside

From our doorstep, you're minutes away from the region’s most iconic sights — whether you rent a car or join a tour:

Moon Valley / Mars Valley

Pukará de Quitor / Aldea de Tulor

Devil’s Throat / Vilama River

Puritama Hot Springs

We’ll happily share our favorite routes, sunrise tips, or help you find hidden gems.

We welcome people from all cultures, identities, and ways of life. This space works because we hold it together — with kindness, clarity, and care.

Our shared agreements:

Quiet hours begin at midnight

Kitchen use ends at 10:30 PM

Clean what you use and prep ahead if you have an early tour

Keep common spaces and personal hygiene in good shape

Don’t take what isn’t yours

Found something? Please return it to reception

Socialize, share, and enjoy — with respect for the energy around you

Guests who disregard the atmosphere may be asked to leave — to protect the community we’re all a part of.

🌄 Come for the Desert. Stay for the Magic.

At Xperience Hostel, we hold space for the moments that stay with you — the spontaneous ones, the soulful ones, the ones you never saw coming.
This is more than a bed. It’s a beginning.

There was no breakfast even though it said so in the description. We didn't get any keys. There was an unanounced party organized by the hostel which meant loud music when we wanted to sleep. Overall, more communication from the hostel owner would have been great. On the other hand, the kitchen was well equipped and the place was in general very homely.

Not my favorite hostel, but the location is great—safe area, close to the bus station, with plenty of good food options nearby. Friendly volunteer staff. Note: only one bathroom for 16+ beds as of May 2025 (another under construction). There’s a friendly dog and cat on-site.

Hostel owner super helpful with booking activities for us and being honest about what to do. Only here for a night but satisfied with our stay. Could do with more outdoor area and perhaps an extra bathroom
