Hostal Puritama, San Pedro de Atacama, Chile - Nov 2007
Regina

“A late arrival 11 PM arrival and no hotel rooms! No taxis, dark streets, heavy luggage, looked like a real adobe pueblo save for the bars, restaurants, hostels, live music, drumming, fire pits and young Chileños and Europeans. We finally got a place for the night at Hostal Puritama. However, it was a 3-bed room for $18,000 pesos or $36 US which is more than we usually spend. It had a shared bath a freezing walk across the yard but we decided it would do for the night.
The next day we changed to an inside $28 US room with shared indoor bath.
This is an expensive town as is most of Chile.”
