        (English below) Nos ha encantado poder contar con Ernesto como nuestro guia y muy buenchófer, viajando de Salta, a Cachi, a Colomé y Cafayate en su vehículo cómodo 4x4. Es una persona muy amable, tranquilo, que conoce su zona de forma profunda, y que nos ha brindado muchísima información en camino. Sobre cultura, naturaleza, la historia... lo hemos disfrutado mucho. Muy recomendable y además a precios razonables.

        SUV tour (3 hours) Cachi
        We booked a 3-hour Cachi tour. Tour guide Ernesto picked us up at our hotel in a very spacious SUV, exactly on time. During the afternoon he showed us places we would have never found alone. They also explain very well all the best of Cachi. They provided us also for FREE with cold water, which we forgot to bring. This tour is a perfect way to learn about Cachi. Many photostops also during the trip, which is great.

        Great down hill mountainbike ride
        We went on a downhill mountainbike ride today with Ernesto and had a great time! He is a super nice guy who likes telling about Cachi and its nature. The tour is suited for everyonewith a little biking experience and lasts about 3hrs. Price is very good! The tourcompany is called turismo urkupina and is located in Cachi

        Magnificent tour through Calchaqui valleys
        The 2-day tour from Cafayate to Salta through Calchaqui valleys was magnificent. The first day Lucio was my guide, a nice, quiet and very helpful grandfather. The second day I was with Ernesto, the owner of the agency, highly trained and truly in love with his valley. The night I slept in Cachi, a very lovely pueblo. Along the way we crossed unforgettable landscapes, like the Quebrada de las Fechas, and visited picturesque villages. Along the road to La Poma, the perfectly preserved Incas granaries were a wonderful surprise. I recommend this agency to everyone! Much better than the daily tours offered by Salta agencies.

        Good cycle worth money
        Good cycle! Our guide was very friendly and followed us behind in a pick-up truck for anyone that struggled with the hills. Occasionally stopping for food and water breaks. A good day out. (9-2.30)

      We 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!!!

      Ernesto 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!

      El intercambio de experiencias super enriquecedor. Ernesto un libro. abierto de historia, geografía, biología y todo lo que se pueda preguntar, hizo la excursión a nuestra medida ya que somos mayores de 70, por lo que animo a los del club 70+ a viajar con Ernesto. Un guía de lujo en un medio ambiente impresionante 😲

      Excelente servicio 😊
      Ernesto nos preparó la infusión para no sufrir la altura, MUCHA charla amena e informativa. Llegamos hasta Abra del Acay ¡una locura! Muy responsable a la hora de manejar por esta ruta de sueños. ¡Volveríamos a contratarlo sin dudas!

      Precaucion al hacer la ruta por sus propios medios, averiguar estado de ríos y asegurarse de que sea un vehículo adecuado.
