5.00Beautiful experience. We traveled with the guide Ernesto who very kindly told us about the production the fauna and flora of the place and told us many anecdotal stories of the area throughout the tour. Really beautiful scenery and a wonderful view of the Calchaquí valleys of route 40 until you reach the gulch of the arrows.

5.00Great experience, in our case we went with the guide Ernesto who told us the history, production and everything related to flora / fauna of the region. A beautiful look at the Calchaquies valleys in an extremely comfortable van.
Excellent.

5.00Very beautiful landscapes, the route was passable, fine gravel without problems for a FIAT Cronos (check the road conditions with the tourist information office). There is a detour in Molinos towards Seclantlás, because in 2023 that section of Route 40 was being paved, an abandoned project. We went along that section, it is passable, with rougher gravel, and there are detours. The trip along Route 40 is worth it, ideal for those just strolling.

4.00It's 160km from cachi to cafayate. The route, it's ripe, it's in very good condition. It's done in 5 hours. There is a very nice village "Los Molinos" to visit. We went by rental car without problems. We were rn June 2024
The Tour through the Calchaquí Valley is unmissable

Open Acay 4895 MSNM in Jeep IKA 1961

5.00We went from Cachi to Abra del Acay, the highest point of a National Route in all of America at 4895 MSNM. Incredible landscapes of Northern Argentina where, despite everything, the traditions and culture of our Native Peoples are preserved. Exceptional Ernesto, local guide, born here, knowledgeable like no one else about the area. My challenge was to go with a 61 IKA Jeep with 72 Ford mechanics while maintaining the technology of the middle of the last century!!! Without Ernesto's guidance it would not have been possible!!!
An unforgettable experience

5.00Ernesto is an excellent guide, his stories make you fall in love with the geography of the area, its stories, its culture and the respect they have for caring for nature. I was in Cachi many times on vacation, and it was a huge surprise to find a town so similar to my memory almost 35 years later!
