Overview
A walk through a reddish ravine offers beautiful postcards of the foothills, a prelude to Cafayate, the heart of the Calchaquí Valley where the sun shines and the best wine awaits. Cafayate, the land of the sun and wine, is located in the Calchaquí Valley, 180 km from Salta’s capital, along one of Northern Argentina’s most renowned routes.
Departing from Salta, you’ll tour the Lerma Valley before entering the Quebrada de las Conchas Natural Reserve. A 90 km road takes you through a narrow valley surrounded by colorful hills, dominated by orange and red. You’ll encounter natural geoforms like La Garganta del Diablo, El Amphitheater, Las Ventanas, Los Castillos, La Yesera, and El Sapo.
In Cafayate, visit a winery for tastings of the best local wines. Though Torrontés is renowned, the region also boasts many hectares of red grapes such as Malbec, Tannat, and Cabernet Sauvignon. After lunch (not included), return to Salta by the same route.
