Accommodations for Inca Trails near Salta



Accommodations
This is a progressive ride where nights are spent in different locations.

Description
We spend the night in mountain refuges run by local herdsmen and ranchers, heirs of a pre-hispanic tradition, and have a glimpse of a way of life so different from our own. It is an experience without comparison. In all of the accommodations but the first there are beds with no linen. We use sleeping bags. It is best to bring your own sleeping bag but you can also rent one ahead of time (please inquire).

Three of the accommodations have baths with shower (one with hot water and two with cold water).

Hotel in Salta
We usually use a small hotel located steps away from the Plaza 9 Julio de Salta. This hotel provides basic accommodations with a ceiling fan and private bathrooms. There is free Wi-Fi available.

Peñas Blancas
This is a 3000 hectares ranch where cattle is bred. The accommodations are basic cabins. By no means can it be considered a lodge, hotel or anything of the sort. However, it does provide guests with and authentic experience and offers more comfort than a tent. We sleep in beds but there is no bathroom or showers but water is available if you wish to freshen up.

Amblayo
We stay at the house of one of the local families. The accommodation is simple and basic but gives guests a glimpse into the locals’ way of life. A shared bathroom with hot shower is available. There is also electricity.

El Churqui
This is a small and rustic mountain refuge with cold running water and a toilet. Guests sleep inside the cabin in their sleeping bags.

Ayuso
We spend the night in tents overlooking the Calchaquí Valley. There are toilets and cold running water here.

Hotel Tribeca in Buenos Aires
This beautiful hotel offers modern and comfortable accommodations in the heart of Buenos Aires. The rooms are simply decorated and all feature a private bathroom, a TV, free Wi-Fi, A/C and heating. There is also a fitness center, a sauna and a sun terrace on the rooftop.

Room Occupancy
Rooms in all accommodations are shared (except for nights spent in hotels).

For dinners in Salta and Buenos Aires, we dine in local restaurants and taste local dishes. For the rest of the trip, we will be transporting our own food so we can make simple dishes such as pastas, stews and BBQs.
