Calchaqu? Valley Scenic Drive and Day Trip to Cachi from Salta:
After hotel pickup in Salta, get comfortable for the 5- to 6.5-hour journey through the spectacular scenery of the
Calchaqu? Valley. During the drive, your guide provides informative commentary (drive time is dependent on the weather and how long
you spend at the different stops along the way).
Begin the drive by heading south through the Lerma Valley, passing by the towns of El Carril and
Chicoana. Make a 20-minute stop for photos at Puente Malcante (Malcante
Bridge), and then keep going down Route 33 through two gorges — Quebrada de los
Laureles and Quebrada de Escoipe — where you’ll pull over at a mirador (viewpoint) for another photo op.
Continue to Cuesta del Obispo (Bishop’s Slope), a viewpoint on a winding road that boasts panoramic views of the Enchanted Valley and its corn fields and fruit trees. Then head to Piedra del Molino (Millstone), a rock
landmark that stands at an elevation of 11,100 feet (3,384 meters) — your highest point
on the tour! Take another 20- to 30-minute break to admire the beautiful mountain views, and then make your way to a lookout point of the
Nevado de Cachi, a range of snowcapped mountains.
When you reach the town of Payogasta, you're given a 1-hour break to enjoy lunch at a local
restaurant (own expense) or eat your packed lunch if you brought one
with you. Finally, arrive in Cachi, where you have another hour of free time to tour the village however you wish. Perhaps take a walk to stretch your legs and admire the village's historical architecture, from its whitewashed adobe homes to its 16th-century church, a National Historic Monument. Or visit the
Archeological Museum (Museo Arqueol?gico), home to an interesting collection of
artifacts from this region, some of which date all the way back 10,000 years (optional;
entrance at own expense).
When your time is up, meet your guide for
the return drive to Salta. The 3.5- to 4-hour journey takes
you through Los Cardones National Park (Parque Nacional Los Cardones),
which you’ll traverse via the Recta del Tin Tin, a 7.5-mile (12-km) stretch
of straight road that lies at an elevation of
9,800 feet (3,000 meters). Hear from your guide about the theories behind the road, whose exact origins are unknown; many believe that
the Incas created the original thoroughfare using a series of fires to create the
alignment. Stop for about 20 minutes, and then finish the drive back to Salta,
where your day trip ends with hotel drop-off.
Calchaqu? Valley and Cafayate Winery Day Trip from Salta:
Your day trip starts with hotel pickup by your local guide for the drive to Cafayate, about 120 miles (190 km) south
of Salta. Leave town on Route 68, passing through the Lerma Valley; stop about 90
minutes in for a coffee break in Posta de las Cabras or La Vi
