Booked a room more than a month in advance based on TA reviews. Local folks confirmed it twice for us -- including once within 24 hours. When we arrived, we learned the place was closed for renovation. Could have told us or our local connection when it was being reconfirmed. We had to scramble to find a last minute place... More

Book a room upstairs for a fantastic view. Really clean, comfortable and nice. Although there is a kitchen we were only able to boil water for hot drinks and not cook. We phoned ahead to make reservation but it was very quiet. Unfortunately the breakfast provided is very basic and not that good but the room and view makes up... More

While I havent seen or stayed in any of the other lodging in Purmamarca I can positively say this is the best place to stay! The hotel is small and quaint, clean and tidy and very accomodating. The best part by far is the view! Between 9:00am and 10:00am the sun comes down across the Cerro de Siete Colores and... More

Stayed one night in an upstairs room with spectacular views of the Cerro de Siete Colores! The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was good, yet simple. Fresh orange juice, toast and medialunas with coffee and tea. It was hard to contact them to make the reservation but I was able to reach them by phone and everything went well. The... More

We were on a 6 day trip in the Salta region with an excellent guide David Martinez [--] and he arranged one of the two double rooms on the upper floor for us as these give better views of the coloured hills first thing in the morning. It was a clean basic room which was quite comfortable. As said by... More

I stayed here for 3 nights. It was my treat after staying in dorms for the past few months. I had a double room to myself. The place was the cleanest I have come across in Argentina and Chile. They cleaned so thorougly every day, they moved beds and really mopped the whole tiled floor. The linen and towels were... More

The location and view form this hotel is spectacular. We stayed on the second floor. I would warn you that if you stay on the second floor they have no elevator and the very narrow spiral staircase is very difficult to climb with suitcases. Purmamarca is a very rural community so there are very few amenities. The rood does have... More

El Cardon is only one of a few places to stay in Purmamarca, a town of approx 700 residents. It is very new, only about one year old, and is very clean. The décor is done in typical adobe style and is very charming. We requested a room on the second floor which had great views of the beautiful surrounding... More
