Calchaqui Valley Scenic Drive and Day Trip to Cachi

Embark on a journey through a stunning reddish ravine, where every geological formation shaped by wind and water offers breathtaking views of the foothills. This is your prelude to Cafayate, the heart of the Calchaquí Valley, where the sun shines endlessly, and the finest wines await. Located 180 km from Salta's capital, Cafayate is celebrated as the land of sun and wine, offering one of the most renowned and picturesque wine routes in Northern Argentina.
The adventure begins in Salta, traveling through the Lerma Valley and into the Quebrada de las Conchas Natural Reserve, where a winding 90-kilometer road takes you through vibrant orange and red hills. Along the way, you'll encounter awe-inspiring natural formations like La Garganta del Diablo, El Amphitheater, Las Ventanas, Los Castillos, La Yesera, and El Sapo.
In Cafayate, you'll visit a local winery and enjoy tastings of the region's exceptional wines. While Torrontés takes center stage, the area also boasts expansive vineyards of red grapes like Malbec, Tannat, and Cabernet Sauvignon. After your visit, there's time for lunch (not included) before you head back to Salta along the same scenic route. Stops will be made throughout the journey, giving you the chance to walk, take photos, and soak in the unforgettable landscapes of this remarkable region.
