Pacheco’s

Trinidad


You’ll get a friendly welcome at the Pacheco’s. Beside the church and surrounded by gorgeous flower-filled gardens, this is a neat and tidy house, with three bedrooms and a sitting area. It’s basic and does the trick, and Mrs P’s homemade meals and cocoa tea (hot chocolate) are delicious.
