Description
We will head for RN 68 towards the tobacco towns of Cerrillos, La Merced and El Carril to turn off for RP 33 to the West. There we will enter the Andes Precordillera through the Quebradas de Los Laureles and Escoipe. Then we will begin to walk the famous Cuesta del Obispo, a meandering path surrounded by impressive rock formations and natural walls where we can see the king of the skies, El Condor. The slope will deposit us in the enchanted valley and the Millstone, our highest point 3348 meters above sea level. From this point, our landscape will change radically and we will enter the desert of the puna, where we will travel the Tin Tin straight, part of the Inca Trail, Los Cardones National Park, Payogasta, and Cachi. After lunch we tour the village with its colonial architecture that remains intact, its Church, its Museum that keeps the history of the indigenous communities of the area, and the artisan market.

Franco enlightened us with every detail and all his knowledge which, together with the wonderful landscape, was a high-flying experience!!! Thank you Franco
Wonderful experience and the tour guide made the trip entertaining. :)
The landscapes and the places we went to were very nice, and also the guide Mauro was very good, fun, and attentive.
The guide Mauro was more than excellent,
simply, monumental. Cachi is a treasure frozen in time, as our excellent guide, Florencia Mendoza, said. Both she and Javier, the driver, were impeccable. I recommend this visit!
Excellent tour, very beautiful! excellent tour guide Flor Mendoza and Javier the driver keeping us safe! And what a gorgeous weather too. Praise God!!!Thank you so much’ the mountains, the cactus, breathtaking!!!
Very beautiful landscapes, atmosphere, places and views, each landscape a work of art, surpassing one another, highly recommended. Guide Florencia Mendoza and the driver Javier.
Beautiful experience Grateful for the guide Flor Mendoza, super attentive and friendly. And the genius Javier who stopped so we could appreciate the wildlife.
The excursion is long, it is 12 hours, always stopping at strategic places where the landscapes are imposing. The driver and the guide were excellent. On the negative side, the van-type vehicle is somewhat uncomfortable for traveling so much. It lacked maintenance.
