They are located in the North of Argentina, in the province of Salta, Tucumán and Catamarca. The main towns that make it up are: Cachi, Amaicha del Valle, Santa María, Cafayate, San Carlos, Angastaco, Molinos, Seclantás, among others, there are around 520 km of impressive landscapes, at times it seems that we are on another planet.

The Quebrada de Las Conchas is a natural reserve that is located very close to Cafayate with reddish rock formations and famous geoforms such as La Garganta del Diablo and El Afiteatro. Unmissable, it takes around 4 hours to recover it, making the relevant stops.

In contrast, the aridity of La Quebrada de Las Flechas, on Route 40 between Cachi and Cafayate, looks like a lunar landscape. There is nothing, a pity that the route is gravel in very bad condition.

En contraste, la aridez de La quebrada de Las Flechas, sobre la ruta 40 entre Cachi y Cafayate, parece un paisaje lunar. No hay nada, lástima que la ruta es ripio en muy mal estado.

And the greenery of La Cuesta del Obispo, on route 33 towards Cachi, a steep and steep path, with the main panoramic point at La Piedra del Molino, at 3340 meters above sea level. Safety pin!

Y el verdor de La Cuesta del Obispo, en la ruta 33 hacia Cachi, un camino zigzagueante

y empinado, con el principal punto panorámico en La piedra del Molino, a 3340 msnm. Imperdible!

Stopping in the city of Cafayate (beautiful by the way) you can access all these wonders and visit some wineries and vineyards as well, to taste the rich Argentine wines.

Parando en la ciudad de Cafayate (hermosa por cierto) se puede acceder a todas estas maravillas y visitar algunas bodegas y viñedos también, para degustar los ricos vinos Argentinos.
