The Best Attractions In Cachi

Salta to Cachi (and back): Argentina Travel Trip. November 2011

Salta to Cachi (and back): Argentina Travel Trip. Leaving beautiful Purmamarca, we traveled by bus in the capable hands of our driver, Pepe to Salta. Salta has a population of 700,000 and is a beautiful city with strong Spanish Colonial influences. We visited the Museum of High Altitude Archaeology which focuses on the Incas and their world, including an incredible exhibit of the mummified remains of three children and their belongings uncovered by archaeologists in 1999 at he summit of nearby Llullaillaco Volcano, one of 60 such sites in Salta Province. Our short stay also included a walk through town and a ride to a park above the city for an overview. From Salta,Pepe took us along the Cuesta del Obispo and into Los Cardones National Park. We had lunch in Valle Encantada and then went on to Cachi for the evening. Before returning to Salta, we went to Molinos and Seclantas to visit the Road of Artisans and the Guzman family, noted weavers. The Vicuna Foundation, dedicated to preserving and promoting vicuna wool, and the town museum were our two stops in Molinos.

Visiting Cafayate, Argentina

After our misadventure of a journey to Cachi we were hopeful for a smoother tour when we booked another day trip from Salta to Cafayate. Fortunately for us, things went really well this time. We ended up visiting some incredible national parks and visiting a vineyard for a wine tour. Afterwards we ate empanadas for lunch and tried wine ice cream for the first time (Malbec) before heading back.

Visiting Cafayate, Argentina Travel Video Transcript:

So good morning from somewhere in the province of Salta. Today we're doing another day trip. So we left the city behind and we're driving towards a place called Cafayate. Right now we're just making a little pit stop. A little breakfast stop. So we just ate some alfajores, had some coffee. Oh, they were so good. So good. Double layer alfajores. Oh, yeah. There was so much dulce de leche on them. So yeah, we're just going to continue with the drive over and we're going to be stopping at a National Park to see some cool stuff. And they are calling us over because we're leaving. We're leaving.

Alright, so we have made it to the National Park and our first stop is the amphitheater. Now apparently this place has 70% of the acoustics that you get in Theatre Colon in Buenos Aires. That is not too bad, huh? Pretty good acoustics. Are you going to test out your vocals here? Lalalala. Lalalala. Let's leave that to the professions.

Alright, so I think it is easy to guess where we are right now? Can you guess where we are? A vineyard. Yes, so after a scenic drive we finally arrived in Cafayate. And now we're doing a vineyard tour. And the best part of this is going to be when we get to sample the wine. Lots of wine. Yeah.

So you are having your first glass of Torrontés. Yes, and they told me to swirl it around ten times before trying it so I think I'm well above ten at this point. Maybe twenty. Ten times. That's quite the method. Nice and fruity and little bit dry too.

So this is church wine that you're drinking right now. This is used in mass. Yeah, I usually don't associate church and wine together but this one is really sweet. It has a bit of a honey aftertaste.

So we have a bit of a shopping stop here at the local market. And someone found a gaucho hat. I've always wanted to be a cowboy. Not just any cowboy. A gaucho cowboy. Alright, let's see if the hat fits.

It kind of does. A bit of a gringo cowboy. But...hahaha

Okay, so the cowboy needs his ice cream for dessert. Yes, and this is not just any kind of ice cream. This might look like strawberry and maybe walnut. But oh no no this is not that.. This over here is wine flavored ice cream. Malbec. And this is a local fruit called Cayote. So I'm going to try them both.

Is it like a creamy milk ice cream or like gelato? It is more like a gelato. Even a little bit more watered down than that. But yeah, you do taste the wine. It's refreshing. Now let me try this one. This one might be more milky. Yeah, it is.

This one is sweeter and it has that kind of a. I would describe it as kind of honey taste with a bit of kind of pulpy string. And I think it also has walnuts. Yes, it also has walnuts too. So do you have a favorite? I like the sweeter one. I like the cayote one a bit more but the wine one is also pretty refreshing.

So we're coming to the end of our trip. This is actually on the drive back. Right now we've pulled over at the three crosses look out point. So let us show you the views. Yes.

And this actually is our final stop. We're now going inside the Devil's Throat. That should be a frightening experience.

Okay, so final thoughts on Cafayate and the Calchaquies Valleys before we get back on the bus. Yes, so this was actually a really relaxing tour. Which was fantastic because tonight we are taking a night bus to Cordoba. So we got to see a lot today but the pace was very relaxed. We had a lot of time to kind of chill. Lots of wine, lots of cheese. Lots of wine, lots of good food. So now it is time to have a siesta on the bus. Sounds good to me.

This is part of our Travel in Argentina series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Argentine culture, Argentine arts, Argentine foods, Argentine religion, Argentine cuisine and Argentine people.

ARGENTINA: EXPLORING SALTA AND JUJUY TRIP AND ITINERARY

SALTA || JUJUY || SAN ANTONIO DE CABRAL || SALINAS GRANDE || PURMAMARCA || SEVEN COLOURS HILL

Salta!!

What a great city... one of our favourites. A smaller city than Buenos Aires, Salta is picturesque with it's architecture, and is known for it's empanadas and beer. There's even a beer simply called Salta!

The locals in Salta are friendly and didn't mind that we can't speak Spanish. We explored the city and booked a two day tour around Jujuy- going around Purmamarca and Humahuaca.

Some highlights include the Salinas Grande salt flat, and the colourful markets with local artisanos in Purmamarca.

We traveled up to 4000+ meters above sea level and took in the beautiful desert view.

Argentina is a big country with lots to offer, and Salta is an absolute must! If you are travelling to Argentina, we would recommend checking out its Northern part 10/10!

Watch our next vlog as we continue north, and explore the multicolored mountain range in Jujuy (Hill of Seven Colors, Maimara, and el Hornocal):

Don't hesitate to give us a shout if you have any questions about travelling in Argentina.

N Argentina: Bizarre Triassic Period Ischigualasto Park Moon Valley

Ischigualasto Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, isn't far from Villa Union, Argentina. some of the oldest known dinosaur remains as well as fossils can be found here from the 45-million year Triassic Period.

Millions of years of wind erosion on the terrain of sandstone and mudstone has given the park the popular name of Valley of the Moon or Moon Valley.

A ranger leads a caravan of cars through the park along a set route, stops, and explains in Spanish only! Fluency in Spanish is necessary if traveling alone, a guide, or you won't have a clue about the park sights.
