Unbelievable Posada Los Cedros: Your Argentinian La Cumbre Dream Awaits!
Unbelievable Posada Los Cedros: Your Argentinian La Cumbre Dream Awaits!
Unbelievable Posada Los Cedros: My Argentinian La Cumbre Dream…or Maybe Just a Really Good Nap? (A Messy Review!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from Posada Los Cedros in La Cumbre, Argentina, and let me tell you, it's a lot. This isn't your dry, corporate hotel review; this is the real deal. I'm talking sweat (from the incredible hike), tears (of joy, hopefully), and maybe a little bit of red wine spilled on my notes (probably…).
First Impression: The Long, and the Short of It
La Cumbre is beautiful, like, breathtaking-ly beautiful. Mountains, clear air… the whole nine yards. Reaching Posada Los Cedros is… well, it's a journey. Airport transfer is an option (THANK GOD!), and they do a decent job. Thankfully, they offer a car park, because I saw no way I was going to maneuver my rental on those winding roads. But once you're there… woah. That's the "Unbelievable" part. The posada itself? Charming. Absolutely charming. Like, picture postcard charming. Think: cozy, traditional, and dripping with… vibes.
Accessibility Confessions (and a Grumble or Two)
Alright, let's get the important stuff out of the way. If you're relying on wheelchair accessibility, Posada Los Cedros is… a mixed bag. They do tick some boxes - elevators? Yes, thankfully, but I didn't see much information about how to move around the common areas. They do have facilities for disabled guests, but I'd call ahead and drill them on specifics. The hills and the gravel pathways could be tricky. Okay, enough with the serious stuff, this is what I'm NOT!
Rooms: My Little Cocoon of Bliss (and a Slightly Creepy Mirror)
My room? Oh, my ROOM! Honestly, it was a haven. Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? Double-check and thank you, heavens! After those hikes, I needed my sleep. They have all the standards – comfy bed with extra long? Check! a mini bar, a coffee/tea maker (essential) AND free Wi-Fi! But let me tell you, there was a mirror in my room that gave off some serious "Silent Hill" vibes. I swear it watched me. Don't get me wrong, everything about the room was lovely, the decor traditional, the separate shower/bathtub was great and my room had a comfy seating area (to hide from the mirror!), but that mirror… anyway, it was a dream after a day of hiking.
Food, Glorious Food! (And My Overeating Mishap)
Okay, the food at Posada Los Cedros is… wow. The buffet breakfast was… magnificent. Western, Asian – they have it all, the restaurant had it all. They also have a restaurant offering dishes, vegetarian options, Asian cuisine, international cuisine, and desserts – the desserts!! – and the coffee/tea in restaurant could make me go back any time. I swear, I ate enough empanadas to fuel a small army. The waiter suggested a bottle of water with my meal, and the ambiance was fantastic; the pool-side bar was perfect for an afternoon drink. And the even-better news? Room service is 24-hour! Which, you know… totally helped with my late-night cravings.
Relaxation Station: Spa, Saunas, and Me, Mostly Napping
Posada Los Cedros is allll about relaxation. They have a spa! Sauna, steam room, massage – the works. I spent a solid afternoon going from the pool with the view to the spa. The gym/fitness area is pretty well equipped as well. Oh, and they have a pool with a view. I'm pretty sure I drifted into a blissful state of semi-consciousness for about five hours. There’s even a foot bath – HEAVEN! Look, I'm not the best at 'body wraps' or 'body scrubs'. I'm more of a "lie down and let the world fade away" kinda person.
Getting Around & Practicalities: The Nitty Gritty (and the Unexpected)
- Internet: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise be! Good internet access via LAN. Also, Wi-Fi in public areas.
- Safety: First aid kit, front desk [24-hour], security [24-hour], smoke alarms, safe, fire extinguishers, CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, etc. and they have an alarm clock. They also have a safety deposit box.
- Cleanliness: They take cleanliness seriously! Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection, rooms sanitized between stays. Hygiene certification, and professional-grade sanitizing services.
- Services: Concierge, laundry service, dry cleaning, currency exchange, luggage storage. They even have a gift shop for… souvenirs? (I bought one of those, by the way).
- Getting Around: Airport transfer! Taxi service available.
- For The Kids: Babysitting service, family/child friendly, kids facilities, kids meal.
My One Big… "Meh" Moment
Okay, there were a few tiny hiccups. The elevator, while present, was slightly temperamental. And the "Happy Hour" felt a little… uninspired. BUT, honestly? The positives way outweighed the negatives.
The Verdict: Should You Go? Absolutely! (But Here's My Secret)
Posada Los Cedros is a slice of Argentinian heaven. It's beautiful, relaxing, the food is amazing. It's the kind of place where you can truly unwind, disconnect (sort of - thanks, Wi-Fi!), and recharge.

Bohol's BEST Kept Secret: Kylitas Transient House! ✨
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your grandma's perfectly-packaged travel itinerary. We're going deep into the heart (and potential chaos) of Posada Los Cedros in La Cumbre, Argentina. Consider this more of a surrender to the mountain air and a prayer that my brain doesn't completely melt.
Posada Los Cedros: A Messy, Opinionated Love Letter (with a Schedule)
Day 1: Arrival. And the Unpredictable Charm.
Morning (ish) - The Descent into Madness: Flight lands in Córdoba! The flight, as usual, was a festival of questionable airplane food and a screaming toddler. I swore to myself, this time, I wouldn’t order the mystery “pasta”. I failed, as expected. Now, the drive to La Cumbre… oh, the drive. Imagine a bumpy, dusty road that's constantly flirting with cliffs. I swear, I held my breath the entire time, convinced we were going to tumble into some scenic gorge. The views are breathtaking, though, it's true. But I hate heights, it makes me feel nauseous.
Afternoon - Cedros Comin': Arrive at Posada Los Cedros. And… wow. Pictures don’t do it justice. It’s even more charmingly rustic than I anticipated, all wood beams and sun-drenched patios. The air smells like pine needles and… well, fresh mountain air! It’s a sensory overload in the best way. The staff, bless their hearts, are incredibly patient with my atrocious Spanish. (I’m convinced "cerveza" and pointing emphatically is my most effective communication tool.) Immediately, I needed a nap, because, jetlag.
Evening - Grilled Heaven and Local Vino: Dinner. I was promised "Argentinian Asado," which translated to heaven on a plate. Seriously. Meat so tender it practically melted in my mouth. And the wine…oh, the wine. A local Malbec, deep ruby red and smooth as silk. I might've overindulged. Let’s just say, the stars looked particularly sparkly that night. And I am not a star lover, but this night was special.
Imperfection Alert: I forgot my camera charger. So all photos from here on in are on my phone, and I'm fairly certain my phone’s screen has more scratches than my dignity.
Day 2: Hiking & the Mountains' Fury
Morning - Attempting "Activity": Breakfast. Coffee, fresh bread, homemade jam… enough to make me forget the horrors of airplane food. Then, the grand plan: hike. The staff suggested a relatively easy trail, "perfect for beginners." Famous last words, am I right? This "easy" trail turned out to be a vertical assault on my quads. Seriously, I am not an athlete, I am a food lover. As I gasped for air, I kept repeating to myself, "Think of the view! Think of the view!" At one point, I seriously considered turning back. But I kept climbing.
Afternoon - Mother Nature's Mood Swings: Made it to the top! The view? Spectacular. Mountains rolling endlessly into the distance. The air so crisp, it almost hurt. Then…the wind picked up. And. The clouds rolled in. And. Rain. Rain, with a side of hail so aggressive I ducked behind a rock. This time I was convinced I was going to die. I swear, the mountains were laughing at me. We ran back down, soaked to the bone, looking like drowned rats.
Evening - The Magic of Kindness: Back at the Posada, shivering and grumpy. The staff, they saw us, and gave us hot tea. I will cherish it forever. Then, a lovely fireplace and an old Argentinian novel. It was a feeling of peace that I needed so much. I started to feel at home.
Day 3: The Perfect Day & A Bittersweet Farewell
Morning - The Town & The Best Coffee Ever: The tiny town of La Cumbre. Wandering through the cobblestone streets. Found a tiny café. The BEST coffee I have ever tasted. Rich, strong, and expertly brewed. And the local pastries. My god, the pastries. I sat there for what seemed like hours, just people-watching and soaking in the atmosphere. This is the kind of slow living I crave.
Afternoon - Horseback Riding: This was a dream. The horses were so gentle. I felt like a total cowgirl, despite probably resembling a slightly awkward tourist more. The views were amazing, but mostly I just focused on staying on the horse. We rode through valleys and across streams. An indescribable feeling of freedom. I was even able to take some photos!
Evening - Farewell Fiesta: Tonight, a farewell dinner at the Posada, and a last chance to chat with the other guests. I made some friends, mostly through shared laughter and wine. It was so lovely to be around people. It would be nice to stay longer.
Emotional Reaction: This place… it's special. It's not about luxury or flawless service. It's about the genuine warmth of the people, the breathtaking scenery, and the permission to simply be. I'm leaving a piece of my heart here. I'm also leaving a slightly richer, rounder me, from all the deliciousness.
Day 4: Departure. And the Promise to Return.
- Morning - The Long Good-bye: Packed my bags, had one last ridiculously delicious breakfast. Said goodbye to the staff. I hugged them all. They were my friends.
- Afternoon - The Drive Back to the City: The bumpy, dusty road is less intimidating this time, probably because I'm no longer fearing for my life. Sad, but happy.
- Evening - Reality? Back in the city. Jetlag, traffic, and the cold reality of a world that seems somehow… less vibrant. But the memories, and the photos, are keeping me warm.
Future Plans: I will be back. Next time, I'm investing in a good camera and a better understanding of the local dialect. Maybe I'll even attempt a hike that's actually "easy." But even if I fail, even if I’m drenched in rain and covered in dust, I know I’ll be somewhere I'm supposed to be. This place is a soul-cleanser.
Final Thoughts: Posada Los Cedros isn’t perfect. There might be spotty WiFi. The showers aren't always the hottest. But that’s the beauty of it. It's real. It's raw. It's a place to breathe, to laugh, and to let life happen. And that, my friends, is what makes it unforgettable.

Posada Los Cedros: Your (Potentially) Unforgettable La Cumbre Adventure - Let's Get Real!
Okay, What *Actually* Makes Los Cedros Special? Is it Just the Pics?
Alright, look, the pictures? They're gorgeous. Seriously. But they don't tell you about the *smell* of pine after a rain, or the way the sun hits the patio just so at cocktail hour. Los Cedros is special because it's...well, it feels like you've stumbled into someone's ridiculously beautiful (and slightly eccentric) family home. It's not relentlessly polished resort stuff. Think more "charming grandmother's house" meets "breathtaking mountain views." They've got this ancient wooden swing that creaks just so...I spent an embarrassing amount of time on that swing.
Don't go expecting marble floors and robotic butlers. Go expecting character. And seriously, go for the views. They’ll knock you on your butt. I still dream about them.
The Rooms: Are They Actually as Cozy as They Seem?
Okay, *rooms*. This is where things get a little...subjective. My room? It was *heaven*. Rustic charm, killer views, fireplace…I could have lived there. My friend, on the other hand, got a room that she described as "a slightly updated llama shed." (She might be exaggerating...a little). But even *her* room had a balcony with an amazing view. It's not the Four Seasons. Expect character. Expect potential quirks (the hot water might take a minute to warm up…part of the charm!). But expect a place you'll want to curl up in with a good book (or your phone, no judgement).
Pro Tip: Ask for a room with a balcony *and* a fireplace. Seriously, do it. Worth. It.
Food, Glorious Food! What's the Deal with the Meals?
The food. Oh, the food. It's not fancy, it's not Michelin-starred, but it's *hearty* and delicious. Think home-cooked Argentinian goodness: empanadas, grilled meats, fresh salads, and enough wine to make you forget your troubles (or at least, remember them less vividly). The breakfast spread is…well, it's not a buffet, let's put it that way. But it's got everything you NEED to fuel your hiking adventures: fresh fruit, coffee, dulce de leche (duh!), and whatever the chef feels like making. One day, I swear, there was a potato cake that singlehandedly saved civilization. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration. But it was *that* good.
Dinner? Expect communal tables. Expect conversations you never anticipated. Expect to make friends. The Argentinian hospitality is LEGIT.
Activities: Is There Anything to *Do* Besides Stare at the Mountains? (Not that I'd Judge You If You Did)
Okay, yes, you *could* spend your whole time staring at the mountains. And honestly? I'd totally get it. It's therapeutic. But! La Cumbre is all about the outdoors. Hiking is the obvious one. Trails range from super gentle strolls to "I might need a rescue helicopter" type ascents. The staff can point you in the right direction (listen to them, they know what they're doing). Then there is horseback riding and I took lessons, I was terrible! It was a lot of fun, but honestly, getting up that horse was an adventure in itself, some people where really good, I was like one of those horses in the stables that doesn't want to participate.
There’s also the town of La Cumbre itself, which is charming and full of little shops and cafes. And don't miss the local attractions. Get yourself out from the Posada, and you can find some things to do.
The Staff: Are They Actually Nice, or Just Professionally Polite?
The staff? They're amazing. That's the short answer. They're not just polite; they're genuinely *kind*. They're helpful, they're patient (especially if your Spanish is as rusty as mine), and they make you feel like you're a guest in their home, not just a customer. I remember when I had what I thought was food poisoning (it was probably the fourth empanada I devoured), the woman at the reception was so kind and helpful. It’s the kind of people that make a place special. I felt cared for.
(And More About Staff) Any funny moments or quirks? Tell me the tea!
Okay. The tea. The *real* tea. So, one afternoon, I was trying to order a cocktail at the bar. My Spanish is terrible, like, really, really bad. I was flailing, trying to describe what I wanted, using hand gestures and mangled words. The bartender, bless his heart, kept nodding and smiling, then presented me with…well, it looked like something. We all burst out laughing. He'd completely misunderstood, but the drink was somehow amazing. We ended up having the best time. He taught me a few more Spanish words (that I've since forgotten), and I told him about my attempt to learn how to ride a horse. It's that kind of informal, fun vibe at Los Cedros. The staff aren't robots; they're real people, and that makes all the difference.
Is There Wifi? How Bad is it Really? Be Honest!
Okay. Wifi. Here's the truth. It's... *variable*. Let's put it that way. Think "spotty reception" meets "occasional digital detox". It's present, but it's not exactly blazing fast. You might be able to check emails (maybe), but forget about streaming movies. And honestly? That's a *good* thing. It forces you to disconnect and actually *enjoy* where you are. It could be a total blessing in disguise, be ready to completely leave it behind, embrace the fact that you're in the mountains, surrounded by beauty, and probably don't really need your phone anyway. If you NEED constant connectivity, this probably isn't the place for you. But if you're looking for an escape, well, the slow internet is just another reason to stay.
Is it good for kids? What about couples? Solo travellers?
Okay, multiple demographics. Here is the deal.
