Poncho Huasi

Poncho Huasi is run by an Englishman and his Argentine wife who have been living in the UK for the last seven years and know exactly what you want from a holiday.

Alicia has now returned home to Salta to live permanently, bringing her husband Nick: and we'd like to welcome you into our traditional colonial home.

What we offer is a personal service from beginning to end: we'll meet you at the airport or pick you up from the bus station and bring you to Poncho Huasi where you'll soon forget the stresses of modern life amidst the tranquil surroundings of our old colonial house.

We are in the sleepy town of Cerrillos just outside Salta city, in the heart of the tobacco region.

We're ideally situated to explore the stunning variety of scenery and activities the North West has to offer; the Calchaquies valleys and the wine region of Cafayate to the south, the Quebrada de Humahuaca to the north, and San Antonio de los Cobres and the Puna to the west.

If it's adventure you're after, there's rafting, rock climbing, trekking and horse riding; jungle, desert and puna expeditions in 4x4 vehicles. The Wild North West has it all! Just let us know what you want and we'll arrange it.

When you're not out exploring, you can laze by our pool during the day, and find yourself a quiet corner in our large living room, with a log fire for those occasional cold winter evenings.

We also know the best places to eat, drink and listen to traditional music; and where to sample Salta's inexhaustible nightlife.

We have four guest rooms and also offer special rates for families.

We look forward to meeting you.
