Cachi
We arrive at noon in the colonial town of Cachi and we will have 2 hours free to have lunch and tour this unique town in northern Argentina. Its cobblestone streets with their adobe houses and cobblestones allow us to witness a place abandoned in time, which maintains its primary essence. In these 2 free hours you can walk these 10 blocks by 10 blocks that the town offers and taste its local gastronomic variety. Then we meet again with the guide to start the return to Salta.
