I just got back from backpacking for 6 months in Argentina where I found a great resource for finding inexpensive hostels and cheap accommodation. www.minihostels.com is a network of hostels all over South America that are clean, safe, fun, and have really low prices. Plus if youre traveling around for a while you can get a minihostels card for U$S10 which gives you an extra 10% discount every night at any hostel in the network. Its a pretty sweet deal and the hostels they have are the best - plus you can see pictures, read profiles, and link directly to the hostel from minihostels for reservations and stuff which makes it way better than hostelbookers or hostelworld, etc. Check it out - I hope this was helpful and happy travels!
