At the foot of the mountains and on the top of a hill with commanding views over the fertile Lermaa Valley 30 km outside Salta stands Finca Los Los, a charming country house of stone and adobe with a lovely verandah and dating back to 1810. The garden and parkland are very English looking with huge lawns and trees, and in this tranquil setting guests find it easy to relax. Among the options available, horse rides to the ruins of an Indian foundry, delicious cuisine and crillo barbeques are some of the more popular.
