It might be in back-of-beyond Yanama, hemmed in by massive mountains, but the Andes Lodge feels like home sweet home thanks to the generosity of its amiable owner, Zacharias. Small but handsome country rooms come with traditional blankets (you’ll need them here) and snowcapped views. Some have shared bathrooms. All are spotless.
The highlight is the hearty dinners, cooked by Zacharias' lovely wife, Esperanza, who’ll chat to you like you’re one of the family.
