AR$680/830; )
Romantic and welcoming, this posada is tucked away in the higher
part of town; it's a fine spot to retreat to with someone you love. Effective, artistic use of
bare stone and adobe lends much atmosphere; the rooms are darkish but seductive, with
woodstoves. Superiors are especially great, with space to spare and beautiful artisanal
llama-wool carpets. Breakfast features bread baked in the patio's clay oven.

Two kilometers from town
down a dirt road, this attractive complex of cabins climbs a hill with gorgeous Quebrada
views and a remote, relaxing feel. The standard cabins are compact but handsome, and
the pool area is a great little spot. Turn left straight after crossing the bridge into Tilcara
and follow the signs.
