Offering amazing views and total tranquility in a colonial-style house just a block from Jardín's plaza, this superb hostel is the best choice in town for budget travelers. There's a variety of comfortable rooms with hot water surrounding a stone terrace that overlooks the majestic mountains. Guests have access to the kitchen and a fine open-air common area.
The attached tour office organizes treks and adventure activities in the surrounding mountains, such as rock climbing and bungee jumping, but if you're not feeling active there's fantastic bird-watching right from the hostel balcony. Affable owner Felipe is a local celebrity thanks to his travel-themed TV program and is a great source of information on destinations throughout the country.
