Excellent trip! Our guide was knowledge, passionate about her topics. She is bilingual, made every effort to make sure we understand her English. Our bus driver was wonderful, we felt safe at all times on a very challenging road. We would highly recommend this tour. Beautiful landscapes, Cachi is a charming town. The National Park is fascinating.

I went to a day trip with the guide Ximena and driver Raúl. Ximena is a very good guide, speaks fluently both Spanish and English. Raul drove comfortably on the mountain serpentine through the very dense clouds. Loved the tour and the program as well!

Full description

Leaving the fertile Lerma Valley behind, we ascend through Escoipe Gorge and continue along the imposing Cuesta del Obispo and Enchanted Valley, surrounded by mountains. After visiting The Windmill Stone (at 3,400 meters above sea level) you will be crossing Los Cardones National Park.
The magical little town of Cachi, located at the foot of the snow-capped mountain of the same name (6,320 meters above sea level) is characterized by its colonial-style facades, with large houses sitting on the edge of narrow, cobbled streets.
We will visit the Lerma Valley, El Carril, El Maray, Calchaquí Valley, Escoipe Gorge, Cuesta del Obispo, Enchanted Valley, The Windmill Stone (3348 meters above sea level), Recta del Tin Tin (an 11-kilomoters long road built by the Incas), Los Cardones National Park (the only high-altitude National Park in Argentina), Sighting of Cachi's Snowpeaks (6,380 meters above sea level) and 2 free hours Cachi town.
