Description

Explore northern Argentina on a tour that combines stunning landscapes, history, and human warmth. This trip to Cachi isn't just a tour; it's a local experience with passionate guides from Parada Norte Travel. We travel in small groups, prioritizing comfort, a sense of humor, and genuine contact with the culture of the north. From the city of Salta, we'll start by crossing the fertile Lerma Valley, among tobacco plantations and small traditional villages. The adventure continues along the winding Cuesta del Obispo, where every turn reveals a different postcard-worthy view. Our guides stop at little-known viewpoints, perfect for soaking up the mountain's silence and snapping unique photos. The road reaches its highest point at Piedra del Molino (3,400 m), before entering Los Cardones National Park, home to endless cacti that line the legendary National Route. In each section, stories about the geography, Andean communities, and their customs turn the journey into a true cultural immersion. Finally, we'll arrive in the charming village of Cachi, a colonial treasure with cobbled streets and white houses. You'll have some free time to explore its 18th-century church, visit the museum, or enjoy a regional lunch at the restaurants recommended by our local guides. More than a tour, this excursion is an invitation to experience the north with your senses: the mountains, the valley's aromas, the stories of its inhabitants, and the warmth that sets each trip with Parada Norte apart.
