In Search of Accommodation in Puerto Natales

Just a quick note here about Puerto Natales, Chile. It is a very stange place, but the point to reach the Torres del Paine. The houses are all very ramshackled and the town is terribly poor, so the budget accommodation is particularly bad. We stayed in a couple of hostels. The first was filthy and awful so when we returned from our trek, we went out on the search for an alternative.

We were recommended a little hostel called Casa Teresa which we found easily as it was a two floored, bright pink house made from corrogated iron. We thought we´d also check out a few other places, but we found much the same - filthy, strange houses run by people that were straight out of the League of Gentlemen. Our little hostel was spotlessly clean, the owner incredibly helpful, the bed was heaven and the breakfast was lovely (far better then the usual bread and jam).
