FAQ

How do you get there?

At Ruta 307, km 107, a gravel road branches off toward Salas — passable for any car, though heavy summer rains can occasionally make it a bit harder. The gravel road leads to our turnoff, marked with red-painted stones bearing our logo — from there it's another 400 m of gravel down to the lodge. For reference: Tucumán airport approx. 3.5 hrs, Salta approx. 4 hrs, Tafí del Valle and Cafayate approx. 1 hr each.

Is there wifi?

Yes, in the bungalows, by the pool, and practically throughout the property.

The lodge runs on solar power — do guests need to limit anything?

Hardly. Wifi and electricity are available at all times, and hot water is guaranteed 24/7 thanks to our solar water heaters. We only ask guests not to plug in their own appliances such as irons, kettles, fridges, or hair dryers, as this would exceed the solar system's capacity.

What accommodation options are there?

Three cabañas in total: a Family Cabaña (up to 4 people) with private bathroom and kitchen, a cabaña with a double bed (up to 2 people) with bathroom and kitchen, and another cabaña with a double bed (up to 2 people) with bathroom and kitchen in the quincho (a covered communal barbecue area). We also have a room (up to 4 people) with four single beds and a bathroom — the kitchen for this room is in the quincho. Space available for camping, motorhomes and campervans — we only charge per person, with no extra fee for the tent or vehicle itself.

Are pets allowed?

Please check with us in advance. We have three cats of our own; leashed and always supervised dogs are welcome.

What are check-in and check-out times?

Check-in from 3:00 PM, check-out by 11:00 AM. A later check-out is available for a small extra charge, provided the bungalow hasn't already been booked for another guest — details are posted in each bungalow.

Is smoking allowed?

Not inside the cabañas; smoking is fine outdoors.

What is there to do nearby?

Close to us: the Quilmes ruins (5 km from Ruta 40), the observatory in Ampimpa, Tafí del Valle, Amaicha del Valle, the wine town of Cafayate in Salta, and Santa María in Catamarca. There are no marked hiking trails, but the surroundings invite endless free-form walking.

Is there a pool?

Yes, we have a pool available to all guests.
