1. Hostal Sierra Minca

Hostal Sierra Minca
2.0 star property
Minca
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (4 reviews)
"The property is gorgeous and the staff is nice. Very local. But there is very very little detail about road conditions, how far it really is and how hard it is to get up there. If you are driving, it is a WAY past the town of Minca up a treacherous road. We were also assigned a cabin RIGHT next to their bar/night club which meant very loud music all afternoon and night. Not exactly the environment you are looking for going that far into the Sierra."
