Top choice in Pereira
With a great location just off the main zona rosa, this top hostel is sociable without being a party place. Besides comfortable rooms, there's a great terrace with mountain views, a chilled streetside bar area, and coffee from the family finca (farm) of one of the owners; the Dutch-Colombian couple is happy to arrange coffee tours, paragliding and cycling excursions.
There's even a self-contained apartment for rent. Our only tiny quibble? Synthetic bedding.
