Cafayate, Salta, Argentina
Argentina
Leaving from Salta, we cross the Lerma Valley (Cerrillos, La Merced, El Carril). We make a technical stop in Talapampa (for baths, breakfast, charging water thermoses, etc.), then enter the Quebrada de las Conchas where we visit the different geological formations: Devil's Throat, Amphitheater, Three Crosses (panoramic view), Plaster and Castles. At each of these stops, the guide makes the historical reference and gives them time to tour and take photos. In the village of Cafayate, a visit to a winery with a small wine tasting is included. Two hours free for lunch, tour the square, church and artisan market. Then return to Salta, dropping off the passengers at their hotel at approximately 7pm.
