Itinerario
We leave Salta through the Lerma Valley towards the south of the province until we reach the town of El Carril to turn west and begin heading towards the Quebrada del Escoipe and the first dream landscapes. We have technical stops along the way so passengers can go to the bathroom or buy a snack.
Imposing Cuesta del Obispo and Valle Encantado, surrounded by mountains. After Piedra del Molino (3,400 m.s.n.m.) you cross Los Cardones National Park.

Visit grocers and pass through the town where peppers are dried on the side of the road.
We arrive at noon at the colonial town of Cachi and we will have 2 hours free to have lunch and tour this unique town in northern Argentina. Its cobbled streets with its adobe and cobblestone houses allow you to witness a place left in time, which maintains its primordial essence. In these 2 free hours, you can tour these 10 blocks by 10 blocks that the town offers and try its gastronomic variety native to the region. Then we meet again with the guide to begin the return to Salta.
Before arriving in the city of Salta we make a technical stop in Chicoana or El Carril to buy a snack or go to the bathroom.

5Excellent tour with great guide.
The scenery was unbelievable and the guide was outstanding. Fernando made the day with his knowledge of the area and its history and spoke fluent English. Highly recommend
5Great guides
Had the good fortune of getting Vanessa as a tour guide and her driver (whose name I forgot, sorry! But he was wonderful!) She was really knowledgeable and personable, it elevated the day. And of course, the scenery was delightful; we also stopped at a roadside stand for a quick bit in case you wanted to buy local spices.
5The national park is...
The national park is stunning, highly recommend going to see it and visit the little town of Cachi. The guide was really lovely and happy for me to ask lots of questions. He also told us about local folk music and other information about the area as well as the main sights we were going to see. The pick up does take quite a long time (you have a 45 minute window but you get a 5 minute warning). Very good value tour and would recommend. But bring cash, all the stops on route to Cachi are cash only if you want to buy anything
5Salta to cachi
Great day-amazing scenery and guide(Martin) full of interesting fun facts. All cudos to the driver also for such skilled driving on incredible roads.
5Excellent!!
This was an excellent tour. Our guide Franco and driver Charly were very knowledgeable, professional, and entertaining. There were enough stops on the route to have a short break and take some photos of the amazing sceneries. Highly recommended.
5This tour was filled wih...
This tour was filled with gorgeous scenery (valleys/gorges) and nice stops for photos or short walks. Our guide (Fabio) was terrific! He spoke alternating in Spanish and English, providing interesting facts about the geography, wildlife, culture, and more. The town of Cachi was pretty with a lovely plaza/square, and we had a great lunch there, but honestly, there was not enough to see/do for a 2-hour stop.

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.
