Worth it - If you are hesitant because of the duration... it's worth. The journey is the experience and not the destination. If you are afraid of heights, as I am, dont worry about it. With someone else driving you get to experience the beauty of the valley below. These aren't European or USA mountains with terrifying cliff edges. Our guide Santiago was great. It was a great day overall.

Awesome! - We had a lovely experience!! Our tour guide was wonderful, the views were spectacular, and the bus was very comfortable! It’s a lot of time on the bus but seems like the best way to see all of these places in one go! Definitely recommend.

A journey along the route of our native peoples - A journey through the beautiful mountains and mountains, a tour through winding and high streets, reaching up to more than 3000m high to finish in a picturesque and colonial village of Cachi. Our guide Lorraine of the Enterprise Nordic2022, is an excellent expert in the area and in the history of the native peoples, very attentive and always willing to answer our queries. Driver Guillermo, an excellent professional who drove incredibly on the risky trails, made us feel very safe and calm. Thank you!

Beautiful trip to Cachi - A very good experience was traveling to Cachi... The little town is dreamlike and the mountain road is very beautiful... You reach a height of 3,458 meters above sea level in Piedra del Molino, with some of the most beautiful landscapes... attention to those who sign up... Highly recommended....

Tour should be advertised as Spanish only! - I wish we could give a higher rating, because I think the tour guide tried hard to make this a good day out. However, the tour was sold as being in English as well as Spanish, and our driver/guide didn’t have any English at all. I have a little bit of Spanish so I managed to understand some, but it was difficult for me because I’m not fluent and I spent all day trying to understand quickly enough to translate for my partner. There were four of us on the tour, in a 4x4 where I was sat in the middle of the back seat. It was not very comfortable for me because I was squashed against a man I did not know for a long drive. There is some beautiful scenery, and I’m sure the driver/guide gave some interesting information if you are fluent in Spanish. I don’t have a problem with people not speaking English - but they should advertise and sell tickets as a Spanish tour in that case, so it is honestly advertised. Then we would have known to book with another tour company instead.

Not worth it . Overrated - We went by car, alternating stretches of road in good condition and some really terrible ones. And don't confuse gravel, dirt (things I love) with routes completely pocked with saws and without signage. The views on the trip are not great (nothing to do with the trip to Cafayate). We arrived in Cachi at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and literally EVERYTHING closed. The craft fair closes at 3:00 p.m., nothing to eat, just a cafeteria and an open ice cream parlor. To highlight, in the cafeteria they did not want to sell us water for the thermos (I don't have any, said the manager ha). I would not return, for us a lost day.
