Journey Through The Imposing Cuesta Del Obispo To The Charming Colonial Village Of Cachi
Departing from the fertile Lerma Valley, this twelve-hour excursion takes you on a spectacular ascent through the Quebrada de Escoipe and the winding Cuesta del Obispo. As you climb toward the Piedra del Molino at 3,400 meters, the landscape transforms into a dramatic display of mountain peaks and deep valleys. The route continues through the unique Parque Nacional Los Cardones, home to thousands of giant cacti, offering a truly singular experience in the high-altitude desert environment.
The highlight of the journey is the arrival in the magical village of Cachi, nestled at the foot of the massive Nevado de Cachi mountain. This town is renowned for its well-preserved colonial architecture, featuring whitewashed casonas and narrow, cobblestone streets that evoke a sense of timelessness. Visitors have two hours of free time to wander through the village, admire the local craftsmanship, and soak in the tranquil atmosphere of this remote and historically significant Andean settlement.
Along the 320-kilometer route, you will encounter significant landmarks including the Recta del Tin Tin, a perfectly straight road section originally traced by the Incas, and the breathtaking Mirador del Nevado de Cachi. The tour provides a technical stop at El Maray and traverses the stunning Valle Calchaquí, ensuring that every moment of the drive is filled with awe-inspiring vistas. This is an ideal trip for those looking to explore the rugged beauty of the Argentine highlands.
The tour concludes with a return to Salta in the evening, providing a full day of exploration and discovery. With a maximum altitude of 3,348 meters, the journey is accessible and comfortable for most travelers. Whether you are interested in the geological history of the region, the ancient Inca paths, or the charm of colonial mountain life, this excursion to Cachi and the National Park offers a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and natural beauty.
