25000ch with bathroom
not very nice for the price, but ok for now
16:42siseta time in downtown putre
Putre is a nice little town, but nobody is home.
The problem for solo traveller is it is almost impossible to book any tour...
There are lots of workers, but no tourists... most tourists come here by car, so nobody is booking tour... if you are by yourself, you have to be lucky to hit any tour....

anything interesting has to be reached by car, without car, there's only a short trail to entertain you for an hour or so...
Most tour companies are locked up, most look deserted...

The village setting is quite good, but there's nothing much todo here...day or night....
Night

no luck for tour so far...
disappointed, leaving tomorrow...
