Amazing journey through these colorful mountains

Mar 2020

I was on a small tour from Salta to Cachi with a group of international tourists. We were so in awe of our wonderful driver who drove very cautiously on the narrow, dusty winding roads navigating the hairpin bends. Around every corner the views were so spectacular. Until we stopped at the peak, we did not realise how many bends we had driven and the steepness of the mountain side. Oh, what an amazing view.
Near the peak is a cute little chapel named San Rafael.

If you are in the Salta area, take the time to do the drive to Cachi, well worth it.

Very enjoyable car journey up the mountain pass

Dec 2018 • Couples

As part of our three day tour we left Salta, driving through a valley of lush green which then just as suddenly changed into dry cactus filled hills and then up into drier multi-coloured hills over 3000 m on this hair-pinned road to the mountain pass. A lookout just before the pass gives a view of the gravel road up the last part of the road up. We had a beautiful clear day and very little wind just a little cool Unfortunately the little chapel is gated and you can only peer through. There isno sign about the "stones of the windmill". There was a single millstone/grindstone but no explanation. The colours of the mountains as you descend this mountain pass into the flat valley once again filled with flowering cactuses was gorgeous, but even better the colours in the mountains to the left hand side of the main road into Cachi was so different and colours of green, purple, ted, orange, yellow, white, greys. Wind eroded hills of varied shapes. A road to the left here takes you into this colourful landscape.
