- Carupia8Benavidez, Argentina233 contributionsSuch an incredibly fun climbThis was one of my favourite places in the whole month we spent in the north of Argentina and puna de Atacama. At the beginning, I thought it would be too difficult to climb the slippery and quite vertical rocks, but with some tricks and a bit of agility, it can be achieved. You can go up to a certain point and the climb itself is the best and funniest part of the visit. I was there after a very big storm and there was a lot of mud, which made slides even more probable. Great experience!Visited December 2019Traveled as a coupleWritten February 12, 2020
- Bob PMendoza, Argentina89 contributionsBe Sure To Stop Between Salta And CafayateThis is a great place to stop and take in the landscape between Salta and Cafayate. Not only is this a very interesting formation, but being among this landscape and walking for a few minutes is a nice break.Visited December 2019Written December 22, 2019

- DaklesSouthampton, United Kingdom1,329 contributionsWorth a stopThis is an easy walk into a ravine in the sandstone cliffs and is a pleasant stop on the drive through the Quebrada de Cafayate. The canyon goes on beyond the readily accessible area and there are signs telling you not to progress further but many people were clambering up the rock face to get to the higher levels. Sadly there are a number of vendors with craft and food stalls which detract from the natural splendour of the place.Visited February 2020Written February 19, 2020
- sleepybexhillBexhill-on-Sea, United Kingdom1,537 contributionsWorth a stopDidn’t find the place particularly impressive, but it is next to the main road and only takes a couple of minutes to walk there. It’s interesting, but the star for me is the last 50 miles of the drive from Salta to Cafayate - it is really spectacular. Plenty of places to stop and take photos. We found it much more interesting than the drive from Salta to Humahuaca.Visited January 2020Traveled as a coupleWritten January 11, 2020

- hazellLondon, United Kingdom113 contributionsA great stop en routeWe drove down from salta to Cafayate and stopped off here. There’s limited signs and when there is one, stop, because it’s right there! A short walk up and it’s there. It’s beautiful and glad we stopped off. No toilets, a few people with stalls. Don’t go on a tour here, take a car!Visited May 2019Traveled as a coupleWritten May 1, 2019

If you do not wear good shoes you can’t really enter to see anything. Also not a good place for the once that can’t walk well. But it was a nice place

I took a day tour from Salta to Cafayate and la Garganta del Diablo was just one of the many amazing stops. I recommend taking a small tour & not the big buses so you can be a little more flexible and take the time to enjoy these amazing sites.

Definitely worth a stop in the car to take a look, but I doubt you could spend more than 5 mins there.

Buenos días, quisiera saber si se puede ir a la garganta del diablo por cuenta propia o hay que pagar a una empresa para recorrer. Gracias y slds

Buen día Dami. Podés ir por cuenta propia sin ningún problema.
Este maravilloso lugar está casi sobre la misma ruta 68 y podrás visitarlo sin necesidad de guías ni vehículos especiales. Llegarás hasta la entrada de la Garganta del Diblo en tu vehículo y luego de dejarlo cómodamente estacionado con sólo caminar 80 metros por un camino sin dificultad llegarás a la garganta misma.
Éxito y buen viaje
Jorge.

No hay transporte público, sólo se hace con excursiones de un día a Cafayate desde Salta o en coche particular. Hay muchas empresas que realizan éstos recorridos.

Hola, mira hay muchas opciones en Cafayate, desde las clasicas bodegas, buenos restaurantes y mas alejados estan 3 cruces, el anfiteatro, la garganta del diablo y todo, tenes que ir si o si en auto o en excursion, tambien podes averiguar una excursion privada con un remis que me resulto mucho mejor que contratar una excursion en una agencia de viajes y fue mas barato y mucho mejor.
