Salta and the northwest Andes: El Manantial del Silencio

Visit Us

El Manantial del Silencio

El Manantial del Silencio, a former monastery is a 10-minute walk from the village centre with a spectacular backdrop of the sweeping multicoloured rock ridges of the Quebrada de Humahuaca (Hill of Seven Colours). The hotel retains the original character of the whitewashed, estancia-style building, and the simple décor and wooden furnishings complement the property's high ceilings and cool terracotta-tiled floors, all set among lawns, terraces and gardens.

The 18 modest rooms have a rustic charm and views of either the gardens or the spectacular Hill of Seven Colours. Local artefacts add a distinctive Latin American character to the common areas, which include a TV room and a cosy lounge with a fireplace. There's also a small swimming pool and a restaurant whose menu features local specialities such as llama.

What our experts say

It was a lovely, peaceful retreat for a night and  I could have easily spent another day here: a relaxing finale after a day on the Road to the Clouds.

"What a gem! Like arriving at an oasis after a long but interesting journey. Would happily have lingered!"

"Although the hotel has plenty of potential it is a little run-down. It had very few visitors and therefore felt empty. The restaurant provided us with two very tasty dinners."

Interesting and excellent

“

“El Manantial del Silencia - interesting old building, and friendly if slightly distant staff. Great log fires burning in the sitting room bar and the dining room. (They can only do that in the tropics because it is so high up in the Andes.) Really excellent food - we ate there both nights.”
