Guests often stumbled upon shadowy figures clad in tattered woven garments, their vacant eyes locking onto souls as if to beckon them to join the endless dance of the dead; those who lingered too long found themselves trapped in a twilight realm, where time twisted and the air thickened with a sense of impending doom. Leaving the hotel was not always a choice, for sometimes, it was the hotel that decided who would remain.

The corridors of Hostal Tierra de los Andes whisper with the echoes of forgotten lives, where the heavy scent of damp stone mingles with the ghostly murmur of voices that drift through the common areas like smoke curling from a dying fire. Guests often find themselves ensnared by a haunting sense of nostalgia, as if the very walls pulse with the memories of those who once lingered here, their laughter now twisted into an eerie symphony that beckons them deeper into the shadows.
