The Downtown is the geographical area where you are staying and it is the centre of the city of Buenos Aires,
Hostel Colonial is located here, at 509 Tucumán Street in corner with San Martin Street,
Nuevo Bajo.
As you walk the streets you will see how some of the most important buildings of Argentina´s history intermingle with those of a bustling modern commercial centre. Here you will find a great urban centre with a mix of tall modern buildings and their amenities and traditional old European-style architecture from the 19th century.
During the day, you will feel the frenetic rhythm of the 21st century streets and by night, while the city seems to sleep, bars, pubs, cinemas and
theatres buzz into the early hours of the morning. The Downtown also offers charming parks which provide a welcome break from the grey pavements.
You are staying here, in the heart of Argentina, and the best place from which to explore the important and exciting tourist areas of the City. Each of them has its own charm but they also all have something in common: mystery, romance and that special some-thing that makes them uniquely “porteña”.

Argentina, a wonderfull backpacking trip
The classic backpacker’s trip to South America: Travelling from El Calafate, in Santa Cruz, Patagonia, the south of Argentina to Iguazú falls still amuses lots of people that choose to know the patagonian territory and the main cities of our country like Mendoza, Bariloche, Córdoba and, of course, Buenos Aires.
Young and experienced people, and also families are changing the beaches or glamurous cities like Paris, New York and London for spending some days in the south of the world to discover the magic of our breathtaking landscapes, lakes, great walls of pure ice, delicious milk caramel, the Tango, the famous argentinian meat, as well as our soccer, buildings of beautiful architeture and the nightlife.
Our hostel is always ready to receive the people that comes from the south with their next stop already (well) chosen: The Iguazú Falls!
Sharing the frontier with Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, for nature lovers, the falls are one of the best options to know in Latin America: The second biggest water fall in the world, with lots of trip options: by boat, walkings and safari with guides trough the parks, trips by helicopter, tours to the paraguaian markets and so on. 1300 km from Buenos Aires, by plane or bus. Don´t miss the oportunity to live an unforgetable experience, book your tickets and reservations soon! Argentina and the Hostel Colonial welcomes you and your friends!


Mochileiros falam de Argentina
Já era plano antigo do nosso grupo, 4 amigos aventureiros do sul do Brasil, mais especificamente da Porto Alegre, fazer um mochilao pela Patagônia Argentina, Buenos Aires e, o mais esperado de todos, Foz do Iguaçú.
“Aproveitando o cambio favorável, decidimos botar o pé na estrada nesse verao de 2008 e o resultado foi uma viagem incrível. As geleiras de Perito Moreno, bem ao sul, sao incríveis, gigantes e mais lindas do que parecem nas fotos. Lindas paisagens patagônicas, e depois subimos e paramos um fim de semana na famosa Buenos Aires. Foi aí que conhecemos o Hostel Colonial, recomendaçao do Fernando, com uma localizaçao perfeita e gente muito fina! Até conhecemos uma gaúcha que trabalha lá, e cada vez estamos mais convencidos de que esse mundo é realmente pequeno! Pequeno mas com infinitos lugares encantadores para a vista e o coraçao humano, e ansiosos, seguimos nossa trip rumo às Cataratas!
1300 km de estrada, também se pode ir em aviao, mas como bons mochileiros, fomos de busao mesmo, que saia da estaçao Retiro, pertinho do Hostel Colonial. Gente, que visita inesquecivel! Para os amantes da natureza, é um verdadeiro deleite! Tem várias opçoes de passeios e trilhas com guias, de bote, de helicóptero, guias pelas populares feiras de eletronicos e um pouco de tudo no lado paraguaio, cassino, expediçoes pelos parques e do lado brasileiro, mais quedas d’agua. Todos falam e é a real: O lado argentino, é o mais bonito. Nao só pela natureza mas também pela cidade. Puerto Iguazú tem varios hostels, barzinhos e apesar de pequena, é uma cidade super agradável de ficar. Estavamos devendo esse relato pra vocês. Roteiro 100% garantido! Um grande abraço pro pessoal do Hostel Colonial e de Iguaçú!
Claudia, Aninha, Érica e Fernando,Poa city-Brasil!
