Hosteria de Iruya

Iruya Lodge was built in the highest part of the settlement of Salta and enjoys views of the whole town, the valley, the river, and the gorge. The town square is near the river and has a beautiful 18th-century church made of adobe. The town is quiet and suitable for mules and pedestrians. In Iruya and the surrounding area you will find water and some lands where poplars and willows, corn, and cinchonas grow. The locals are farmers and shepherds. The town was built by the Spanish in 1753, but the valleys were first inhabited by the natives and then conquered by the Incas just before the Spanish arrival.The single-story building has a wide central hall where the reception, living rooms, bar, and restaurant are situated. The building has a wide terrace and a covered gallery overlooking the valley and hills that surround it. From there you will have an incredible view of the condors, which nest in one of the east hills. The whole lodge is surrounded by a dry-stone wall, including the sixty steps that lead to the main entrance door. For lunch and dinner, enjoy a menu typical of the area, which shows the idiosyncrasy of these pre-Columbian towns.The Iruya Lodge has 15 rooms that allow you to enjoy a comfortable rest and the prevailing silence in this remote place.
