Description:
El Rincon del Viajero is the vision of artist/owner, Malinali, and is the dream hostel for many backpackers. She transformed an abandoned group of storefronts into a colorful garden hostel with bungalows, bunks and plenty of hammocks. With walls covered in murals painted by Mali and past guests, there isn't any question that this a traveling artist mecca. Mali actively seeks out fellow artists, dancers, musicians and yoga instructors to come share her space and create an ever-evolving community. Drum circles, communal dinners and day trips to local surf spots are regular activities at the hostel.
Despite being a budget hostel, Mali still provides complimentary coffee and tea as well as seasonal fruit grown right in the hostel garden. There is wifi and laundry services in the hostel common areas. Other amenities are limited -- hot water is a rarity -- but for the economical cost of about $15/night, El Rincon del Viajero is one of the best deals in town and guaranteed to be one of your more colorful stays in all of Mexico.
