S TIER HOSTEL!!! Viajero is everything you could want in a hostel and more. From the minute I walked in I made tons of friends with travelers from all over the world who were amazing people. All of the staff was fantastic, Jay in particular brought a vibe to the hostel that made me feel like I could be the most extroverted version of myself possible. If that wasn’t enough, the jungle area in the back is crawling with wildlife, and there’s even a big friendly wild iguana that you can pet!
