The managers, who already owned a local travel agency, could not find a hotel in Uyuni that met the services they required.
They wanted to offer their clientele something special. So they created this hotel with its handcrafted decor made by residents of Uyuni and Oruro (like the eucalyptus wood furniture, for example). The establishment offers spacious rooms with equally large bathrooms, in a family atmosphere. The staff is very welcoming and attentive.
