Living a surfers life in Arica-ca-ca

TravelPod Member ReviewsHostal Sunny Days Arica
Don't be fooled by the drab outside, this hostel is amazing! The owner is English speaking (from New Zealand) and is full of stories and advice. Rooms are nice and the common area is clean. They also serve all you can eat breakfast.
