It becomes even more mesmerizing during the Golden Hour in Potrerillos, with mountains and nature all around, and the dam in the background reflecting the vast natural scenery with golden glimmers.
It sounds like a dream experience, but it becomes a reality when enjoyed from Las Palapas, the country’s new favorite destination to experience magical sunsets, located within the Gran Hotel Potrerillos.
This magical corner invites you to connect with nature in an innovative way. Here, the fresh mountain air blends with ancestral rituals and the energy of electronic DJ sets, offering an experience that captivates all the senses.
