We had a lovely experience!! Our tour guide was wonderful, the views were spectacular, and the bus was very comfortable! It’s a lot of time on the bus but seems like the best way to see all of these places in one go! Definitely recommend.

Fuimos en auto, alternando tramos de ruta en buen estado y algunos realmente espantosos. Y no confundir ripio , tierra ( cosas que me encantan ) con rutas totalmente poceadas con serruchos y sin señalización. Las vistas en el viaje no son gran cosa ( nada que ver con el viaje a Cafayate ) . Llegamos a Cachi a las 16 30 hs del sábado y literalmente TODO cerrado . La fería artesanal cierra a las 15 hs , para comer nada , solo una cafetería y una heladería abierta . Para resaltar , en la cafetería no nos quisieron vender agua para el termo ( No tengo dijo la encargada ja ) . No volvería , para nosotros un día perdido.asampallo1

Una muy buena experiencia fue viajar hasta Cachi... El pueblito es de ensueño y el camino de montaña es muy lindo... Se llega hasta una altura de 3.458 msnm en Piedra del Molino, con unos paisajes a cuál más lindo... atención a los que se apunan.... Muy recomendable....
