“Chilled Vibes and Amazing People”
It’s a simple hostel, but it’s been one of our favourites! The atmosphere is relaxed and social, with a lovely garden and hammocks to chill out in. The absolute highlight was the staff – Max and Valeria were incredibly welcoming and friendly. One evening, they treated all the guests to an AMAZING asado, and the steak was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality!!

“Best hostel”
Super friendly owners! Made me feel at home right from the start! They were always around to answer questions or to have a chat. Toghether with other hostel people we had an amazing pizza night, with pizza from the wood oven in the super charming hostel garden.

“Very kind and friendly”
I was unfortunately sick during my time staying here, and the staff of the Hostel were really kind to me, regularly checking up on me to see how I was doing and even bringing me medicine. Wish I could have been well to make use of the lovely hostel. The bread at breakfast was also especially fresh and delicious.

“A highlight of life”
Huaka is one of the best hostels I've ever been to. The staff Max and Vale make you feel like family. The social atmosphere was exceptional. There is an amazing garden to relax in. Everything is very clean, breakfast is lovely, and the kitchen is top notch. I would go back to Cafayate just to stay here. Thanks for the amazing time.

“Spectacular for anyone who would like to visit Cafayate”
The owners here definitely are the best for my traveling. Super supportive, kind and with incredible hospitality, always asking whether there was anything they could help. Even hold a barbecue dinner for the guests, which left us nothing but great memories😃. To be honest it’s quite hard to say goodbye to them, but I guess this is how life is.
