Hostels in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is a sure destination for backpackers trekking across South America, making the hostel scene lively to the point of bursting at the seams: the backpacker-friendly lodgings can be found on every single block in the high-tourist zones of San Telmo, Palermo, and El Centro, and every other block elsewhere. The bunks, communal kitchens and luggage lockers aren't just for trekkers, though. You certainly don't need to be a backpacking co-ed to enjoy the economical digs and social aspect of Buenos Aires's hostels. Meet fellow travelers while you stretch that budget and relax in the common room or whip up a pocket-friendly group meal. That bunkmate just may be your new travel buddy or, at the very least, provide you with some travel tips and camaraderie while stationed in the big city.
