On the list above, I would class the negative rates:
- Belen and Chilcito: Those are no tourist places. Hence a low offer.
- Salto de Dayman: Actually a place I would not recommend (expensive for what it is, and the bathrooms were sooo dirty).
- Oiapoque: A really poor town where we got stuck spending the night. This is no tourist place neither.
