I had a wonderful day on the Cafayate tour! The scenery is amazing and there are lots of great photo stops at the main sites. The wine tour was quick, but a good opportunity to taste and buy some cellar door wine. Cafayate is a quaint town, good for lunch and some wine or souvenir shopping. Our driver, who was also the guide, was excellent and very friendly. I understand basic Spanish, but the English translation covered most of the content. The van was spacious and comfortable. Highly recommend!

The trip takes a few hours on the road with strategic stops at viewpoints to take pictures, you must carry a sunscreen to enjoy the landscapes under the sun's rays, being a walk more than anything about landscapes I recommend taking a good camera and both for the throat of the devil as the amphitheater go prepared for good photos

A really nice tour. The highlight was definitely Quebrada de las Conchas, while the winery was just a simple one with 4 different wines to taste. Enough time in Cafayate for a nice lunch and a walk around the very centre of the city. Quite a lot of driving, but the mini bus had good air conditioning, and the views were amazing most of the time. Driver/guide Ramirez was really good and spoke to the group both in Spanish and very good English. Definitely good value for money.
