Staff were very friendly. Hotel was peaceful. Breakfast was my favourite in 3 weeks as we got eggs made to order on top of the usual order. Bed big and comfy. Everything clean. 5 minute walk from main square. We'd driven a long way, it was cold when we arrived and I was in a bit if a grumpy mood but checking in here cheered me right up.

My family and I just absolutely loved this adorable hotel. The food [we ate lama meat, delicious!], the staff, the rooms, the cozy lobby, everything was great. The whole hotel spoke about the area through its decoration. At night, dogs from the neighborhood barked, but that was just part of the experience. My daughter forgot her beloved stuffed animal there, so we called them and asked them to send it to us over the mail, and they did! We were so grateful to them!

Rincon de Fuego is a nice Inn that has used the old building and incorporated modern facilities into it including free internet in the lobby area. Particularly nice because of the stone and adobe structure the room remained cool despite the soaring temperatures. It's up a slight hill from the Plaza. We had a large room with a king sized bed in it that was on the seond floor. Breakfasts were just so so. Postres were a bit stale on the first morning. My main complaint with the hotel was the barking dogs that howled incessantly from late in the evening until late in the am...very loud and disturbed my sleep. That said, I would imagine that many of the hotels and Inns shared the problem of barking dogs since there were many dogs wandering around Tilcara.

We stayed only 5 days in the argentinean northwest and visited Jujuy City, Tilcara, Humahuaca, Salinas Grandes, Purmamarca and Iruya. We stayed all our journey at "Rincón de Fuego" in Tilcara and came and went from that to the locations mentioned before -they are all day-trips from Tilcara-.

Not only we loved Tilcara but also Rincón de Fuego. The hotel has the perfect northwest enviroment, is very cozy and confortable. They also offer tours to go to several spots in the area (daytrips) or even Salta and Bolivia, with a 4x4, food, gear and equipment and a very skillfull and kind tilcareño guide named David, a hotel's employe who knows very well all the northwest.

Besides, if you want to have dinner, the hotel has its own restaurante with a professional chef. Don't miss the "ensalada de quinoa" (quinoa salad) or the "cazuela de llama", though all food is exquisit.

Enjoy the argentinean northwest from the most amazing hotel in the area!!

ps: don't expect they anwser your e-mail's requests in a hurry fashion; they really are a little bit "all fashion" on this matter -Internet- but the wait for the answers worth every penny -maybe make a phone call will be better-.
