Company information

Hostal IKAL is owned and operated by two guys who previously ran a Hostal in the Amazon rainforest in Peru. Even though there is no jungle here, that unique experience remains the most important factor.

Our hostel is located in the heart of the cultural district of San Cristóbal, in a 200-year-old colonial building renovated and under new management.
