We left by Provincial Route No. 68 and crossed three tobacco towns: Cerrillos, La Merced and El Carril. Then we will connect with Province Route No. 33 to start touring La Quebrada de Escoipe, an area of jungle vegetation, covered with ferns that give it its characteristic green color.
From here on, we will go through the majestic Cuesta del Obispo, to reach the highest point in this route that is Piedra de Molino, which is located at 3,348 meters above sea level.
The next point in this Tour is the Tin Tin Straight, a perfect line of approximately 20 km. of extension, traced by the ancient Incas, and Los Cardones National Park, where we will observe extraordinary high-altitude cardones and various shapes.
Close to lunch time, we arrived at CACHI. A small town that is characterized by its colonial architecture, with low houses, cobbled streets, ochava corners, adobe walls and roofs supported with cardón wood from the Calchaquíes Valleys.
We will visit the Anthropological Museum, where important and beautiful collections of ancient settlers are exhibited. Another point of great interest is the Parish Church, where the ceiling, the benches and the confessional are made of Cardon Wood.
Once the tour is finished in the town of Cachi, and after lunch, we will start the return to the City of Salta Capital by the same road, making some technical stops that were not made during the outward trip.
