This is a good excursion from Salta; it combines scenery you should see with some wine tasting. I was very lucky to have Agostin as my guide. I have some mobility issues and Agostin couldn't help me enough to ensure I got the most from the day.

Full description

The journey will commence in the morning with hotel transfers in Salta.

We will traverse the Lerma Valley, passing through tobacco fields and villages with German colonial architecture, which used to be the final destination of the Belgrano Railway. We then enter the Quebrada del Río Las Conchas, where the wind and water eroded curious formations will be the main attraction: dunes, the toad, the bishop, the devil's throat, the castles, the amphitheater, among others. Subsequently, we continue on National Route 68, arriving in Cafayate, the youngest city in the Calchaquí Valleys, internationally recognized for the quality of its wines, particularly Torrontés, which can be sampled during a visit to a winery.

The return to Salta follows the same route but with completely different sunlight, altering the landscape in the canyon entirely.

The tour concludes with hotel drop-offs.

The tour shows amazing places, there is not mich time to stop, but the things to see are a lot. In Cafayate they suggested a restaurant which is very touristic, you are not force to eat there, i chose a more typical place. The landscape is simply great and the guide was kind and spoke spanish and english.
