Lodging along Route 6
Hotel Tirol Thirteen kilometers from Encarnacion the Hotel Tirol is a well established area hotel, receiving guests for over forty years. Only a twenty-five minute bus ride from Encarnacion this large complex of stone buildings, multiple pools and walking paths is set into the hillside and feels like it’s in a world apart. Hotel facilities are scattered amongst several levels connected by stone stairways. All meals are served buffet style. During Thanksgiving the hotel is deluged with Peace Corps Volunteers from all over the country – a great time for backpackers to make connections and meet travel buddies but a terrible time for those seeking peace and quiet.
