Tour Description

In the early morning, our excursion kicks off with pickups from hotels in Salta.

We will journey through the Lerma Valley, traversing tobacco fields and towns showcasing colonial architecture in a German style, an area that once marked the terminus of the Belgrano Railroad.

Our first stop will be at the Posta de las Cabras. From there, we will enter the Quebrada del Río Las Conchas, where wind and water have sculpted fascinating formations: the sand dunes, the toad, the bishop, the castles, the Amphitheater, among others!

Another must-see is the Devil's Throat, a rock formation that dates back millions of years, ranking as one of the area's most significant attractions. Continuing along National Route 68, we will arrive in Cafayate, the youngest city in the Calchaquí Valleys, celebrated worldwide for its diverse wines, especially Torrontés. This tour includes a chance to visit a winery and experience these unique high-altitude grapes firsthand (tasting not included).

The return journey to the City of Salta follows the same route, but the different lighting at this time of day will transform the scenery of the Quebrada.
