Description

We will travel to the city of Cafayate, the land of the sun and wine, located in the Calchaquí Valley 180 km from the Salta capital that are transited by one of the most striking and renowned routes of the Argentine North. Visit to the wine center of the province, crossing La Quebrada de Las Conchas. Erosion has formed a succession of natural wonders such as the Devil's Throat, a deep, closed canyon. The Amphitheater (with perfect natural acoustics), The Toad, The Friar, The Obelisk, The Castles. Gradually, the arid landscape is replaced by large tracts of vineyards until you reach one of the most striking regions within the Calchaquíes Valleys: Cafayate, a town of single-storey houses between colonial and baroque architecture of the late 19th century.

Excursion through Quebrada de las Conchas and Cafayate

The excursion was very beautiful for us, the landscapes are incredible, honestly we were super happy. They picked us up at the door of our accommodation and on the way back they dropped us all off as close as possible too, so that was great.

No AC on the bus

Our guide Jes was great she explained everything in a lot of detail in both Spanish and English, the views were breathtaking. However the bus did not have a functioning AC which made the trip unbearable, we also couldn't open all the windows so the temperature inside and the lack of air was horrid. Personally I also didn't care for the stop in the winery the guide there did her best to explain things in English but it wasn't very good. I understand Spanish and I booked this tour for the Quebrada so it didn't matter to me but if you are interested in that part be aware they don't really speak English.

Great guide and amazing trip

Tour is great, the Canyon is beautiful and wineries on the other side is interesting as well Tour is done with care, pick up on time. All information is equally in Spanish and English, and the guide takes care so everyone feels good. Van was comfortable, seats had head support The drive is quite long, but road and driver is good. We left salta around 8 and returned around 7-9 as well

Terrible

Terrible experience on the Tour to Cafayate with Quebrada Turismo which I booked with Getyourguide. Terrible communication with the company. They kept me waiting almost an hour for the pickup. When I informed the guide (Martín) that they had been delayed for a long time, he told me that he is only the guide, that the complaints go to getyourguide or Quebrada Turismo. Martín got all rude because I had complained about the delay in picking up. The visit to the winery is only in Spanish so for those who speak only English it is not worth doing it. The tour doesn't stop in all the viewing points mentioned (only in 4 of them). You just drive and see them as you pass The tour guide Martín was sitting adelites in the van reading the "script" only what we were seeing, little interaction with us. In short, terrible professionalism of the guide Martín and the Quebrada Turismo company

Beautiful valley and rich in culture

Carolina was a great guide, picked the stops very well, transmitted a lot of information about the places with a slow speech that helps the Brazilians to understand
