Travel back in time to the charming colonial town of Cachi, crossing the majestic landscapes and contrasts of the Calchaqui Valleys
Discover the magic and natural contrasts of northwestern Argentina with this panoramic excursion from Salta to the charming colonial town of Cachi. The journey begins by crossing the central part of the Lerma Valley to enter the Sub-Andean Sierras, where you will witness the lush vegetation of the Quebrada de Escoipe and travel along the imposing and winding Cuesta del Obispo.
As the ascent progresses, the humid landscape of the yungas jungle will dramatically transform into the characteristic aridity of the Puna. You will reach the highest point of the route at Piedra del Molino, at 3,457 meters above sea level, where you will enjoy spectacular views and the possibility of spotting the majestic Andean condor. From there, the road descends along the mythical Tin-Tin Straight, crossing the amazing cactus-filled landscapes of Los Cardones National Park.
Finally, you will arrive in Cachi, a magical town that seems frozen in time thanks to its unmistakable colonial architecture. You will have time to freely explore its quiet cobblestone streets, its historic church, and its museum, soaking in the tranquility and rich history of the Calchaqui Valleys before beginning your return journey.
