FROM THE QUEBRADAS TO THE SALARS ...
(Trip through North West Argentina - June 17/ July 20 2010)
July 21 to 24 Juillet 2010 : Quebrada de las Conchas
In 2001, during our first trip, we did not have enough time to explore this valley as we wished.
So, this time, we took our time : 3 days in Cafayate
(where one should also visit a few bodegas : the wine is excellent !)
|
On the paved road from Salta to Cafayate, from the Tres Cruces viewpoint, the valley opens up in full .... We then enter a world of oddly shaped colored rocks. The Andes volcanoes have brought up these rocks, and rains have sculpted them patiently, following their imagination. |
We inquire at the Tourist Office in Cafayate : no hay sendero... ??? (there is no footpath) Yet, there are many : we visit a few. To find these paths, look for vehicle tracks, about 20 km from Cafayate. |
