Pancho Hostal del Cabo

Uruguay


Providing bare-bones dorms on two levels, Pancho’s popular hostel is impossible to miss; look for the yellow corrugated roof, labeled with giant red letters, toward the beach from the 4WD truck stop. Nice features include a spacious kitchen, a beachfront lounging area and the 2nd-floor dorm under the A-frame roof, with its small terrace looking straight out at the ocean.
