Seven days of salt flats, horseback riding, and mountain views.
After checking in to the hotel and taking a moment to rest, we took a horseback ride around the 100-acre property. Our guide, Diego, gave us beginner lessons on how to ride a horse and regaled us with the history of the area. It’s also a beautiful opportunity to bird-watch; we spotted burrowing owls and southern crested caracaras.
, the hotel’s restaurant, known for its northern Argentinian dishes and homegrown fruits, vegetables, and spices raised in the garden on the property. Argentina is known for its empanadas and steak, and the chef did not disappoint; the meat empanada here is still my favorite Argentine empanada to date. After dinner, we moseyed over to the spa to enjoy hour-long massages followed by a visit to the Turkish steam bath and sauna — a perfect respite after all that driving.
, known for its amazing wines and cuisine. We ordered the three-course set menu, which includes homemade pasta and incredible flan.As a final stop in this sightseeing-packed day, we drove an hour north to the village of Humahuaca to spend the afternoon taking in the unique panorama of Serranía de Hornocal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its multicolor mountain range in a V-shaped geometric form.
. Originally built as a manor house next to a sprawling cattle ranch, the hotel opened two centuries later with just five rooms. Keeping authentic architecture and craftsmanship in mind, the hotel was eventually built out into 32 spacious rooms featuring local artwork, handwoven upholstery, and a quaint chapel that is original to the estate. We spent the day hanging by the pool with views of the Calchaquí Valley and swapped travel stories with other guests.
