Travel Tip: Hostel high up on the mountain

5 stars
Published on Feb 12, 2008 by anja78 for Chirripó

The hostel on mount Chirripó is located about four kilometers from the actual summit. This means, that you can do the rest of the trip up the mountain without luggage, which is a huge help! The hostel itself is a rugged lodge with dorm beds that sleeps up to 60 people. It small, cozy rooms, has a large common room with big wooden tables and a well-equipped kitchen. You cannot by food up here except small snacks, such as nuts and soda, so make sure to bring your own, you will be hungry! Extra blankets are available for rent, and it does get really cold up there. (The cold showers weren't fun!)

Don't think I'd appreciate the showers very much.
