Had a perfect stay at the Viajero Hostel. I stayed for 5 nights in the tent which was fantastic, you can hear the river flowing the whole night through. It's possible tho that you wake up at night because of a noise like a car honking but was very quiet. I met many people there, the hostel is in general very social. The tours they provided were great aswell and the staff was super nice and helpful.

Es un hostel muy completo, con un personal demasiado amable (desde recepción, el bar y la cocina hasta el equipo de actividades y el guarda de la noche). Me encantó que organizaran actividades diferentes todos los días y la variedad de tours que ofrecen para conocer la zona. ¡Definitivamente volvería, sumamente recomendado!

Super clean, modern hostel with good facilities and a fun layout. Nice bar/chill areas and staff were super helpful and friendly. Stayed in a deluxe room and it was a really good standard. Would stay here again.
