During the week in Salta<\/strong>,<\/a> I was lucky enough to make a road trip through the Calchaqu\u00edes Valleys<\/strong> and enjoy this area’s incredible landscapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you take our road trip, you will tour part of the northwest of Argentina, drive a stretch of Route 40 and Route 68, cross reddish canyons, yellow canyons, and valleys full of vegetation, taste the wine of a craft winery, and take many photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an amazing experience that has been forever etched into my memory.<\/p>\n\n\n

What are The Calchaqu\u00edes Valleys?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Calchaqu\u00edes Valleys are a geographical region with valleys (worth the redundancy), mountains, and where the Calchaqu\u00ed River flows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is located in northwestern Argentina, covering about 500 km and passing through three provinces: Salta, Tucum\u00e1n, and Catamarca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will find many colonial villages, and as you enter the Calchaqu\u00edes Valleys, you seem to be returning in time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be able to take the route of the artisans, where you will see how they work today, which is not that much different from how they once did.<\/p>\n\n\n

The landscapes are spectacular; you pass from a green valley covered with vegetation to a lunar landscape like that of the \u201cQuebrada de las Flechas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Undoubtedly, Argentina offers various visits that do not leave you indifferent. Salta is<\/strong> one of my favorite provinces<\/strong><\/a>, both for its beauty and for the warmth of its people (and let\u2019s not forget its wines ;))<\/p>\n\n\n\n
