Quebrada de las Conchas |
 As you pass on the road from Salta to Cafayate, you will find the Quebrada de las Conchas. This majestic canyon demonstrates the power of water, wind and millions of years with its distinctive rock formations and rich colors. The 50 km passage reminds one of a painter's pallette with deep reds, browns, and greens. As it follows the river, you will see a series of special formations such as Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat), El Anfiteatro (Amphitheater), El Obelisco (Obelisk), Los Castillos (Castles).

Médanos
|
 Only 3k out of Cafayate lie the Médanos (sand dunes). Created by wind and erosion from the Quebrada de los Conchas, the beautiful, pristine white sand heaped in hills last for kilometers. You can meander through the ups and downs barefoot or just climb to the top of one of the dunes and watch the moon and the stars and distant views.

Divisadero/Rio Colorado y Las Cascadas
|
 Just when you think you are in a desert with no water, less than 6 km southeast of Cafayate you will arrive at the Divisadero where the Rio Colorado comes out of the mountains. Here, you can hike up a rocky riverbed to spectacular waterfalls (Las Cascadas). You might want to find a guide to show you all the hidden treasures of this area such as the Ruinas (ruins) and make sure you are on the right track to find the cascades! It is a must see with indescribable beauty. To see more details of the hike to the falls, click here.
