Experience a breathtaking journey along one of northern Argentina’s most scenic routes as you travel to Cafayate, the land of sun and wine. Located in the heart of the Calchaquí Valley, 180 kilometers from Salta city, Cafayate is accessible via the iconic National Route 68. The tour begins by crossing the fertile Lerma Valley, passing through charming towns like Cerrillos, La Merced, El Carril, Coronel Moldes, and La Viña, where rural life and tradition come together in perfect harmony.
The road becomes increasingly dramatic as it enters the Quebrada de las Conchas Natural Reserve. This stunning canyon features vibrant red and orange hills and unique rock formations shaped by centuries of wind and water. Along the way, you'll explore natural wonders such as the Devil’s Throat, the Amphitheater, Las Ventanas, Los Castillos, El Sapo, and La Yesera—perfect spots to walk, take photos, and connect with nature in its purest form.
Once in Cafayate, a visit to a local winery includes a wine tasting of the region’s finest varietals. While Torrontés is the signature white wine, the area also excels in red grapes like Malbec, Tannat, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Learn about local winemaking traditions and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this high-altitude vineyard oasis nestled in the Calchaquí Valley.
After lunch and some free time to explore the town, the return to Salta follows the same scenic route, with additional stops like La Yesera or the Posta de las Cabras. This tour is a perfect blend of nature, culture, and gastronomy, ideal for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the magic of northern Argentina.
