Hostel Apacheta

Catamarca & La Rioja


This central hostel is a simple but likable place in a great location, with air-con and room to move. It's clean, but a bit like when you told your parents you'd cleaned your room. Rental bikes and an inflatable paddle pool are on hand. Knock US$3 off if you don't want breakfast.
