Jaimes Crazy House is a new property which opened in March 2009.
My name is Juana Magdalena, I am a Chilenian women. When I was younger I travelled a lot in South America as a backpacker (Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay). The needs of a backpacker is something I know.

We are a safe family property located close to the centre of town. The property is a basic house which has everything a backpacker needs. There is a clean bathroom and kitchen, comfortable rooms and information on things to do in and around Ovalle. We also have a cyber café attached to the property which is free for everyone to use who stays with us (including Cable Television and WIFI). There is also a small car available for our guests to use.

It is within walking distance of the Plaza de Armas, fruit and vegetable markets, museum, Bus Terminal and supermarkets.

We are open 24 hours and are able to pick you up from the bus terminal, all you need to do is tell us what time you expect to arrive.

How to find Jaimes Crazy house in Ovalle:

Coming from Santiago de Chile
If you are in the capital of Chile, Santiago, you can take a bus from the Terminal direct to Ovalle(costs about 6000/8000 pesos). This will take about 5/6 hours. When you arive at the bus terminal in Ovalle, it is a 5 - 10 minute walk to Jaimes Crazy House.

When you leave the bus station ask the first person you see, ¨Where is the centre?¨ (donde esta el centro?) If you are lucky, they will say the good way. Walk down this road, and after about 500 meters you will see a big supermarket on your left hand side called Deca. Keep walking for another 100 meters and you will see a big square. At your left you will see a big police station. The street parallel to this square is the street Tocopilla!
