Salta to Cachi (and back): Argentina Travel Trip. November 2011
Salta to Cachi (and back): Argentina Travel Trip. Leaving beautiful Purmamarca, we traveled by bus in the capable hands of our driver, Pepe to Salta. Salta has a population of 700,000 and is a beautiful city with strong Spanish Colonial influences. We visited the Museum of High Altitude Archaeology which focuses on the Incas and their world, including an incredible exhibit of the mummified remains of three children and their belongings uncovered by archaeologists in 1999 at he summit of nearby Llullaillaco Volcano, one of 60 such sites in Salta Province. Our short stay also included a walk through town and a ride to a park above the city for an overview. From Salta,Pepe took us along the Cuesta del Obispo and into Los Cardones National Park. We had lunch in Valle Encantada and then went on to Cachi for the evening. Before returning to Salta, we went to Molinos and Seclantas to visit the Road of Artisans and the Guzman family, noted weavers. The Vicuna Foundation, dedicated to preserving and promoting vicuna wool, and the town museum were our two stops in Molinos.
