Sucre


This messy, even grungy, place is nevertheless popular with low-maintenance backpackers looking for a laid-back vibe and longer-term stays while working on their Spanish or volunteering in a nearby community. Bare-bones concrete-floored dorm rooms are large and the central garden area has hammocks for lounging.
