La Yesera Hiking – Quebrada de Cafayate Full day

We invite you to join us for an unforgettable trip to an area with geography carved and molded by the wind and

sun. The route from Salta to Cafayate passes several tobacco plantations, multicolored hills, and named rock

formations among ravines such as El Sapo (the frog), El Fraile (the monk), Las Ventanas (the windows) with many

unimaginable shapes that we discover exploring the landscape.

In Quebrada de Cafayate (Cafayate ravine) our incomparable trip begins: a magical place where time seems to

stand still. We hike through La Yesera (The Gypsum Quarry) where it is easy to admire in every direction infinite

formations and their incredible colors.

For lunch, we enjoy traditional cuisine in the warmth of this natural and majestic environment. Empanadas made

from a recipe that has been shared from generation to generation are enjoyed with a glass of our high-altitude

wine.

Anyone who has ever been to this place never forgets it’s colorful allure!
