Hi my name is godert i am a dutchy of 18 years old. I have been in this lovely hostel for 10 days and had a great time. The hostel its self is very small and friendly and has everything you need. The entrance of the hostel is very funny, you enter trough a very small cayer café with 3 computers. Cesar, the guy who works in the cyber café, is really friendly and is always in for a joke.
The city it self is not to big but you still wouldn´t get borded there. The nature around the city is really beautifull and you can do some fantastic tour in and around the area of Ovalle.
Definitively worth going to! | | Directions | How to find Jaimes Crazy house in Ovalle
Coming from Santiago de Chile
If you are in the capital of Chile, Santiago, you can take a bus from the Terminal direct to Ovalle(costs about 6000/8000 pesos). This will take about 5/6 hours. When you arive at the bus terminal in Ovalle, it is a small 5 minute walk to Jaimes Crazy House. The easy way is to take a taxi and let him drive to the street Tocopilla number 92(do not pay more than 1500 pesos). The other way, the cheaper way, is to walk to the hostal. If you leave the bus station ask the first person you see, ¨Where is the centre?¨ (donde esta el centro?) If you are lucky, they will say the good way. Walk down this road, and after about 500 meters you will see a big supermarket on your left hand side called Deca. Keep walking for another 100 meters and you will see a big square. At your left you will see a big police station. The street parallel to this square is the street Tocopilla!
