Pichilemu - Check out Hotel Bahia when you go, its cheap and secure with free internet. Its right next to the Copec gas station. If taking a bus get off at Al Centro and not the bus terminal.

Pichilemu Accom? - Hey,
I`m in Arica at the moment and will be in Pichilemu in about 3 weeks, just wondered if anyone can tell me if there`s penty of cheapish winter accomodation down there? cheers.
PS Paying out on the locals after surfng thier local is shit, some people are just scumbags, if ya don`t like the locals, stay home.
