If you visit Cafayate or Cachi, you shouldn't miss Acsibi caves. The only way to visit the place is contacting Fido Aban, the guide. It is a mix of trekking and hiking, all along an amazing landscape. It takes all day long and it really worths it. After about 2 hours you arrive in the caves. The place is incredible, the whole experience. There are 2 little cascades where you can refill your bottles, because you'll need plenty of water. It's like a mix between the Grand Canyon and the Death Valley. Fantastic

Suggest you spend a night in one of the great boutique hotels in Purmamarca and next day drive up to the Salinas Grandes. The road up is breathtaking, winding up to about 4000 ms above sea level, all tarmac. You then drive down to the Salinas. It is a landscape from another world. Flat and white it looks like snow but it's pure salt. DON'T FORGET SUNGLASSES!!! In the middle of the salt plains, they have built a house completely out of salt!!

This was not on our agenda but became part of our trip as our original destination was blocked by a mudslide. So glad we got to see this beautiful landscape! Must do it in a four-wheel drive though!

A beautiful rock formation, there was a man playing the quena and it sounded great. Is a fast kind of trip, in and out; we stayed a few minutes listening to the live music. Is worth the time visiting plus the road offers fantastic views.

A spectacular place, incredible journey. Wonderful rock formations on the way 70Km between Cafayate and Angatasco. It can be done with a rental car. If you have good physical fitness may be a bike ride. Another way to be in this place is for tours departing from Salta and Cafayate.

we walked up since there was a long line in the bus. it was a saturday but the lady wasn't there. the climb up prepares you to the atmosphere you'll experience, if you want to. some of us climbed praying while others were just climbing up as an excercise. it's an overall spiritual experience no matter what you believe in.
9. Museo Guemes

After visiting the main plaza’s Museo de Arqueología de Alta Montaña, we walked 250 meters northwest to Museo Guemes. We paid our 100 Ap each, then waited on a courtyard bench for a group to be assembled. Our group of 15 was then given instructions in Spanish to “stay together” as the door to Room #1 was opened.
As a group, we progressed slowly from room to room, assembling to listen to oral multimedia presentations. Several had captions in English and we could follow along on the progression of General Guemes from childhood to Buenos Aires cadet to numerous battles of Independence.
We managed to stay with the group for 30 minutes until Room 8, when a tedious hologram dropped the English, and we decided to leave. As we were escorted out, we noticed a group of 2 in one of the later rooms, not having to endure the claustrophobic jostling in some of the small dark rooms, so the shorter people could see.
Much of the museum’s dialogue lingered and may be of limited interest to a foreigner but we felt our visit helped to understand one of their top military figures in their quest for independence. Its best to allow an hour for a complete visit.

The landscape is awesome. Only the place gives you peace to your mind. Whether you are a believer or not, you'll find yourself praying and focusing on your feelings, your needs and on what you are thankful for. .
It is not advisable to go up in november-december. It is too hot and if it is sunny you need to know that you might have to wait under the sun to get into the chapel and to see Maria Livia. So take an umbrella, sun protection and a cap.
