What to expect
Day 1 Expedition to wine resort of Colome

Cuesta del Obispo

From the Valle de Lerma, we travel up the winding mountain road of the Cuesta del Obispo, reaching a height of nearly 3,500m at the peak of the Piedra del Molino.
-
Parque Nacional Los Cardones
1 hour
The landscape changes completely from verdant green sub-tropical vegetation to the wide open desert plain of the Parque Nacional de los Cardones: peppered with candelabra cacti as far as the eye can see.
-
2 hours
We travel through the breath-taking deep red landscape of Los Colorados and from Molinos follow a rough mountain road, with outstanding views at every turn, to arrive at Colome, a superb vineyard set like a jewel in the hills of the Valles Calchaquies.
-
Experiencia Colome
16 hours Admission ticket included
This is the highest altitude wine region in the world, famous for its Torrontes white wine and red varieties of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and the lesser known Tannat, perfectly designed for the Argentine asado (barbecue). Colome is also developing varieties of Sauvignon Blanc, Bonarda and Pinot Noir. After wine tasting we will visit the James Turrell museum, a stunning exploration of how light plays with and deceives human perception.
Day 2 Return from Colome via Cachi
-
1 hour
we will have time in the nearby colonial town of Molinos, visiting the 17the century church and the hacienda which was the home of the last royalist governor under Spanish rule two centuries ago.
-
Cachi
3 hours
We will have lunch here and explore the mountain town of Cachi, with its picturesque cactus-roofed church. We will find time to visit at least one of the excellent boutique wineries here before heading back to Salta.
