La Candela is a welcoming little hotel with a lovely garden close to the colonial centre of Salta. 

Colonial Salta is rich with colonial mansions, once family residences but many of which, like this one, La Candela, have been converted into small and friendly hotels. The mid-range property has a great location close to the historical centre, but is a peaceful oasis with a charming palm-shaded garden embellished with lawns and pretty pot plants set around a terrace framing an outdoor pool.

Guest rooms are bright, cheerful and a bit retro, with a simple style which nods both to colonial Spanish elegance and a provincial guest house. They are well equipped with modern facilities however. The suites have Jacuzzi bathtubs and junior suites feature both living room and balcony. Other facilities include a cosy sitting room, breakfast room, snack bar and TV lounge. It’s popular among European visitors and families are welcome.

What our clients say

97% of our clients rated their experience with us as Excellent or Good.

  • Beautiful country

    The weather was very kind to us and every glacier, view and the falls were stunningly beautiful. I loved being in the hotel at Bariloche sitting on the terrace overlooking the lake. I even thoroughly enjoyed travelling through the Enchanted Valley from Nequen to Bariloche because the airport had been closed. It is impossible for us to put one memorable moment as every part of Argentina that we went to was beautiful.

    LL, Bexley

  • Most Memorable Moment: Iguazu falls were amazing - much better than exepcted

    DM, London

  • This was our first trip to South America and most definitely will not be the last. And we will be travelling with yourselves again. It was an extremely varied trip and we enjoyed every bit . However we especially loved all the natural beauty and wonders of Patagonia and the Iguazú region . 

    LH, Altrincham

  • Each day gave us stunning scenery, amazing sights and the friendliness of the Argentinian people. Although one particular highlight was seeing an armadillo on the road from El Calafate..

    YGG, Wirral

  • It was all highlights but Iguassu falls from Argentina and Brazil were really amazing.  We were fortunate to be there when the water volume and power of the falls were especially high (which outweighed the occasional heavy rain by far).

    MW, Oldham

  • Highlight?: Wildlife! Buenos Aires! Travelling Club! being at the end of the world, border crossing in and out of Chile - good fun.....

    MK, Orkney

  • Highlights: “So many highlights - relaxing and wine tasting on the Estancia, trekking on the glacier, enjoying the polo and good in Buenos Aires and the experience and animal spotting in Iguazú.  Such a diverse range of activities and experiences in 1 country made for an amazing 2 week holiday”

    KB, Chelmsford

  • Most Memorable Moment?: Sitting by the shore of Laguna de los Tres at the base of Mount Fitz Roy in El Chaltén ... or sitting in a wood-fired hot-tub on the first day of our honey-moon, overwrought, slightly jet lagged and very happily married!

    RB, London

  • Highlights:- Hard to choose one:  all the trips in Iguazu and Patagonia were spectacular, as was the impromptu tango in a bar in Puerto Iguazu and the guitarist in the market in San Telmo

    BV

  • We both thought that the experience and power of the Iguazu Falls when we were alone in the grounds on our own (early in the morning before the crowds arrived) was an experience of a lifetime. We've never seen an almost circular rainbow caused by the river's spray before.

    AP, London

  • Most Memorable Moment?: Iguazu falls - the whole trip was incredible! Seeing the falls by full moon was one of the most amazing things i have ever seen!

    JW, Aylesbury

  • Most Memorable Moment: Perito Moreno glacier.

    SU, London

  • The weather was very kind to us and every glacier, view and the falls were stunningly beautiful.  I loved being in the hotel at Bariloche sitting on the terrace overlooking the lake.  I even thoroughly enjoyed travelling through the Enchanted Valley from Nequen to Bariloche because the airport had been closed. It is impossible for us to put one memorable moment as every part of Argentina that we went to was beautiful.

    LL, Bexley

  • The trip was divided into a series of mini holidays and each was memorable in its own way. Obviously the Iguazu Falls were spectacular but we derived much pleasure from every experience we had.

    MK, Southampton

  • We have had a great holiday in Argentina, partly organised by JLA and would certainly recommend JLA to anyone that wants to have such a trip,  as they provided very good knowledge of the areas we visited and good organisation.

    LS, Zurich

  • Seeing the iguazu falls was unforgettable. The hotel was beautiful with a fantastic position.

    LD, London

  • We had a great time.  We'll definitely be going back to Argentina in the future. 

    HD

  • We loved all of it, we really enjoyed the scenery of Humahuaca Gorge and the drive to Cafayate.  Iguazu falls are incredible also and a definite highlight....We found our whole holiday experience excellent.  It was nice to be able to see so much in 2 weeks whilst still feeling relaxed as we were looked after so well by all our guides.  The personal itinerary and help we received made a huge difference to us and we were impressed by the standard of all our hotels.  The only problem was that we wished we had longer so we could of seen more.

    HB, Abingdon

  • Argentina is a big place  - we did a lot of travelling in a short time  - our constraints ; 3 weeks would do  it more justice ; the people were great + the trips you organized worked really well - it was overall a great trip.

    KS, Brighton

  • We had a marvellous time, the welcome's we got at each airport was fantastic and everyone was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.  The people of Argentina are warm and friendly we felt relaxed and would recommend a visit there to anyone

    MC

  • Hotel Club Tapiz and visiting the wineries in Mendoza was a real highlight. The Iguazu falls were also incredible.

    CAA, London

  • Highlights?: The guides Laura, Rami and Roberto were tremendous. Highlights among many definitely include the Salta Trip to the Clouds Day, the Iguazu Falls (esp the Argentine side)and the Bariloche hiking days.

    JD, London

  • Patagonia and Buenos Aires were the stand out highlights although the whole trip was wonderful.

    ED, London

  • Trekking on the Perito Moreno Glacier, seeing Condors in the Andes, crossing the Andes by boat and bus, the whole visit to Ushuaia. This was probably the most varied and exciting trip we have done in recent years, which worked almost perfectly logistically and in terms of time spent in each location.

    PN, Guildford

  • The trips from Hotel Puerto Valle into the Ibera wetlands were amazing and wonderful. We also had a memorable time in Purmamarca, thoroughly enjoyed the self drive route and of course the amazing Iguazu falls.

    VW, Bakewell

  • I have wanted to visit Argentina for years.  Journey Latin America helped by interpreting our desires and pulled together an excellent itinerary.  Our journey will be one of the most memorable trips we have ever been on.  Each accommodation was different, giving us a taste for the area, culture and the people were so friendly.  What an amazing country

    LT, Wimborne

  • Highlights?: Tango performance and landscapes in Patagonia.

    DB, London

  • Highlight: Bariloche, panoramic view was unforgettable. I have never seen such a wonderful sight on any of our many holidays.

    PJ, London

  • Most Memorable Moment?: Iguazu Falls just because it was so spectacular to see.

    CH, Hull

  • Overall, Journey Latin America took excellent care of us on our journey through and across Argentina. We will travel with them again.
