This place is in walking distance to the main parque with lots of stuff to explore. What made my day was the tip of a staff member to go to Agua Amarguas (instead of the more popular and more expensive Georgina’s Fuentes thermales). I liked the local atmosphere there a lot. The hostel has a little kitchen, small cosy yard and it is also used by people going on hiking tours.
