Overview

The journey begins in Salta, heading through the lush Valle de Lerma, passing traditional villages like Los Cerrillos, La Merced, El Carril, and Chicoana. The route continues into the scenic Quebrada de Los Laureles and Quebrada de Escoipe, where the landscape becomes increasingly rugged and colorful. Climbing the winding Cuesta del Obispo, you’ll reach Piedra del Molino, the tour’s highest point at 3,348 meters (10,984 feet), before descending into the high-altitude plains of Los Cardones National Park, home to thousands of giant cacti.

Upon arrival in Cachi, enjoy a guided visit through the town’s most iconic sites, including the Archaeological Museum, the historic cemetery, and the 18th-century Church of Cachi, all set against the majestic backdrop of the Andes. This full-day small group experience combines natural wonders, cultural heritage, and unforgettable landscapes in one of Salta’s most enchanting regions.
