Cafayate Travel Guide

The Museo de la Vid y el Vino in Cafayate tells the history of grape growing and winemaking in Salta's high-altitude wine region. Housed in a colonial-style building, it pairs naturally with wine tastings at the town's bodegas.

The Quebrada de las Conchas — also called the Cafayate gorge — lines the road between Salta and Cafayate, a canyon of red sandstone famed for bizarre eroded formations. Stops like the Devil's Throat, the Castle and the Amphitheatre are natural sculptures along one of the region's classic drives.
