Facing the beachfront in Guayabas, Porã Chacahua features a private beach area and a bar. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

All units at the hostel are equipped with a shared bathroom and bed linen. We loved our time at Pora! Beautiful beachside location, lovely and helpful staff including a full crew of volunteers, teepee was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious (if slightly expensive - easy to ignore in such a nice place) and the kitchen is well-stocked. It's about 40 mins into town but the flipside is a great feeling of detachment from the old World. Hammocks are fab. Surprisingly straightforward access given all the "it's really hard to get here" stuff online. We'd love to return one day as volunteers.
