Familiäre Betreuung, gutes Essen, viel Fauna

Die grosse Überraschung war der Empfang im Garten mit Hokko, Kaiman und co. Das Gebäude wirkt verwittert, aber die Zimmer sind renoviert, komfortabel, mit Ventilator. Tolles Essen. Der Eingang zum Parque nacional de Piedras Blancas ist zu fuss zu erreichen.
