It’s the ultimate freedom trip: all your belongings strapped to your back, a guidebook in your pocket and a multi-stop ticket in your hand. But it’s not for the fainthearted: cockroaches, 20-hour train journeys and dodgy dorms is something the backpacker will have to get used to.

Punta del Diablo for backpackers

Posted by theresecoleman 7 August 2010

One of the most chilled out and relaxing places we stayed in South America. From the cabana with an amazing ocean view for $10 a night we chilled out on our deck watching Atlantic breakers and sipping our local wine bought from the only shop in the village - cask for $2 a bottle. We helped the local fisherman pull his boat onto the beach and got the freshest fish as a thank you. Punta Diablo was the perfect antedote to the long days on the road.
