Cafayate Day Trip: Quebrada de las Conchas, Devil’s Throat & WineYou’ll ride out from Salta through shifting red canyons, walk inside the echoing Devil’s Throat, taste Cafayate’s famous wines with locals who know their grapes by heart, and watch afternoon light paint the Calchaquí Valleys.

Hotel drop-off is included, and the guide is authorized by Salta's tourism ministry.Is it for me?Choose this tour if you want to see the Calchaquí Valleys' main geological landmarks and taste local wine without arranging transport, timing stops, or navigating the canyon road yourself—the fixed itinerary and hotel pickup handle all of that.

Salta: Cachi & Los Cardones National Park Full DayYou travel from Salta through three distinct landscapes — the Escoipe Gorge, Cuesta del Obispo with its panoramic mirador, and Los Cardones National Park where 800-year-old cacti line the road — before reaching the stone-street village of Cachi for a 2-hour lunch break and free time to explore the square and museum.
