Cafayate is the most important town in the Calchaquí Valley. It's famous for its wine production and its popular folkloric festival held in February, the Serenata.

Its dry and sunny climate is ideal for growing conditions of a variety of grape types, including the Torrontés, unique to this area. You can take a guided wine tour where tasting is a must.

Main attractions include a visit to the Cathedral, the Artisan's Market and the Wine and Archaeological Museums.

On the way to Salta, sand dunes appear as an unexpected scene before changing into the dramatic gorge of Quebrada de las Conchas, a series of intensely coloured rock formations. The Amphitheatre and The Devil's Throat are highlighted stops throughout the Quebrada de Cafayate.

Trekking by the Colorado River to the Seven Waterfalls, mountain biking, horseback riding and even sand-walking, are some of the activities which can be enjoyed around Cafayate. A perfect way to make the most out of your visit.
