Area Info
The hotel is located in the municipality of Santa Elena, department of La Paz. Better known as part of the famous "Lenca Route", this area sits at very high elevations-more than 1,500 meters above sea level in most parts. The immediate surroundings are pine and oak forests with small patches of coffee cultivated at high altitudes considered among the best in the world. It is a quiet agricultural area where rural life still takes precedence over any form or attempt at urbanization.
The hotel is the primary destination. However, there are cultural experiences in the broader region. The town of Marcala is nearby. Marcala is the commercial center for coffee in this region. Guests can arrange tours to local coffee cooperatives to witness processing methods or take excursions to waterfalls and hiking trails in the vicinity. Because the hotel is perched high up on a mountain, there are no shops, restaurants or ATMs within walking distance you will have to depend on the hotel for all your immediate needs.
