We are the largest hostel in Villa de Merlo, a small touristic town in the province of San Luis, on the border with the province of Cordoba. The hostel has been running for 8 years now and much of that is thanks to those who have volunteered here to help make the experience enjoyable. We pride ourself on great customer service and our friendly helpful staff. The idea here is to give you a fun experience and help you keep traveling through Argentina!

Cultural exchange is what shapes the experience here. Whether it is sharing music, painting a mural or participating in any of the operating roles in the hostel. We have a large garden and many permaculture projects including a composting system and recycling projects. This is a great opportunity to brush up on your spanish along with gaining hostel management experience, learn to operate a hospitality management system. Also you have the opportunity to learn about the plants and animals of the area. Most importantly you have the opportunity to interchange cultural experiences and make friends from all over the world.
