Sociable without being a crush-your-beer-can-against-your-forehead party hostel, the 'Little Piranha' features the eponymous fish motif throughout its spotless rooms and greenery-festooned common areas. Air-con is a boon in sweaty Leticia and the friendly bilingual owners are happy to organize group activities, from guest barbecues to jungle trips. Walls are on the thin side.
