  Description

  My name is Carlos, and since 2014 I manage an inn in Alto Jagüé, La Rioja.
  It is located in an old adobe house, historical property of the town, since it was the first building in which the primary school functioned.
  The place offers the experience of living in a country house, in the heart of Precordillera, being the last town on the way to the Laguna Brava Provincial Reserve, and in the vicinity of the Pircas Negras International Pass.
