• As in the Cafayate excursion, we left by RN 68 through the towns of Cerrillos, La Merced, El Carril, from where we will take the RP 33 towards the west, to enter the Andes Mountains through the Quebradas de Los Laureles and Escoipe, after touring them and discovering imposing landscapes and appreciating the terraces of crops where the peasants of the area grow vegetables in the same way as their ancestors did, we will begin to walk through the famous Cuesta del Obispo , a winding path surrounded by impressive rock formations and natural walls where we can see condors, among others. We arrive at Piedra del Molino, our highest point at 3348 meters above sea level.
• From this point our landscape will change radically as we leave the subtropical valley, we will cross the Tin Tin straight, part of the Inca Trail, we will make a stop in Agua de los Loros where the viewpoint of the Nevado de Cachi is located, we will cross the Los Cardones National Park, Payogasta, and our final destination, Cachi. There after lunch we visit the town with its colonial architecture that is preserved intact, its Church, its Museum that keeps the history of the indigenous communities of the area, and the artisan market where the craftsmen of the area are offered textiles. the return to Salta.-
