Casa del Telegrafista — Hotel in Municipio Pucará

We spend 2 nights in Casa del Telegrafista in April 2022 and we enjoyed every moment in this charming hostal. The setting of the colonial style bedrooms around the courtyard, the marvellous garden, the owners' eye for detail, ... it all adds to the experience in this mythical area where Che spent his last days.

We had the two room about 100 yards down from the main house. The benefit is full electricity and in suite bathrooms with very nice hot water showers. While tis is called a hostel, it is much more like a hotel. Fernando and his wife made us an awesome lasagna dinner. No one will be going hungry. We slept like babies. If you are interested in the history of the area, everything is within a few...
