Highlights
We will head for RN 68 towards the tobacco towns of Cerrillos, La Merced and El Carril to turn off for RP 33 to the West. There we will enter the Andes Precordillera through the Quebradas de Los Laureles and Escoipe. Then we will begin to walk the famous Cuesta del Obispo, a meandering path surrounded by impressive rock formations and natural walls where we can see the king of the skies, El Condor. The slope will deposit us in the enchanted valley and the Millstone, our highest point 3348 meters above sea level. From this point, our landscape will change radically and we will enter the desert of the puna, where we will travel the Tin Tin straight, part of the Inca Trail, Los Cardones National Park, Payogasta, and Cachi. After lunch we tour the village with its colonial architecture that remains intact, its Church, its Museum that keeps the history of the indigenous communities of the area, and the artisan market.

About Salta
Salta, a colonial city in a green valley of north-west Argentina, is the base for the Andean canyons, vineyards and high desert of the region.
Salta sits in the Lerma Valley at about 1,200 metres, ringed by green hills at the edge of the Andes. Its centre keeps Spanish colonial buildings around the Plaza 9 de Julio, among them a pink-fronted cathedral, the arcaded Cabildo and the Convent of San Bernardo with its carved wooden door. A cable car climbs Cerro San Bernardo for a view over the rooftops.
Top-ranked sights in Salta: Great Salt Flats (Salinas Grandes), Devil’s Throat (Garganta del Diablo), Purmamarca.
