Sept.25: this nice little church is close to the town square. As we visited this church inside, a local indigenous was tapping (holy) water into a plastic container. Also a dog came drinking of this water. The inside of the church is nicely decorated.

(Translated by Google) Colonial style parish. Built in the mid-17th century, it was later acquired by Don Felipe de Aramburu. The objective was to use it as a family chapel since, in colonial times, catechesis and religiosity were taught within the family itself. At the end of the 19th century it was renovated, leaving a neoclassical façade that was characterized by its large tympanum and an entrance narthex. Due to the earthquakes of 1903 and 1930 – in La Poma – transverse arches were incorporated into the vault of the nave. In 1947 it was declared a National Historical Monument and Vicente Nadal Mora undertook a reformulation of the façade, in which the belfry with three arches where the bells are located stands out especially. 💯% recommended!!!!!!!! (Original) Parroquia de estilo colonial. Construida a mediados del siglo XVII fue luego adquirida por don Felipe de Aramburu. El objetivo fue utilizarla como capilla familiar ya que, en los tiempos de la colonia, la catequesis y la religiosidad se impartían en el propio seno familiar. A fines del XIX es reformada, quedando una fachada neoclásica que se caracterizaba por su gran tímpano y un nártex de ingreso. A causa de los terremotos de 1903 y de 1930 –en La Poma– se le incorporan arcos fajones a la bóveda de la nave. En 1947 es declarada Monumento Histórico Nacional y Vicente Nadal Mora encara una reformulación de la fachada, en la que se destaca especialmente la espadaña con tres arcos en donde se ubican las campanas. 💯% recomendable!!!!!!!!

(Translated by Google) The Church of San José de Cachi, located across from Plaza 9 de Julio in the picturesque town of Cachi, Salta, is a gem of 18th-century colonial architecture. Originally built as a private oratory by the Aramburu family, it was later donated to the local community. In 1945, it was declared a National Historic Monument. Its structure features adobe walls on cobblestone foundations, cardón wood roofs, and a façade with a three-bell belfry. The interior houses a 35-meter nave with side chapels, a polychrome main altarpiece, and various religious images, including a notable 18th-century figure of the Nazarene. The church is part of Cachi's historic center, declared a National Historic Site in 1975. Along with the Pío Pablo Díaz Archaeological Museum, it is a cultural and tourist attraction in the Calchaquí Valleys.

(Translated by Google) A jewel of 18th-century colonial architecture. This church features adobe walls built on pink stone foundations, with semi-vaulted ceilings made of cardon wood.

Sept.25: on our way back from exploring National Park Los Cardones we stopped @famous road Recta del Tin Tin. We just had to wait till 2 motorbikers got out of the way, we had than the road to ourselves. Just a few meters back @Sendero Los Caminos del Pasado there's a sign of Recta del Tin Tin & if you look across/over it you have full views of Recta del Tin Tin.

Incredible stretch of road.

Reminds me of some of the straightest roads in the USA with great views and total changes of landscape afterwards. Appreciated getting out of the car and absorbing in the grand scale!

Straight road that feels like the roads you'd find in Arizona or Utah -- that straight. The road was well kept and we didn't have any issues driving down one of the straightest routes we'd been on. Photo taken by @alejandroseveriniph (Instagram)

Beautiful scenery. Roads are in good condition.

now THAT is a loooonnnnng straight path!!!!!

(Translated by Google) The story of the Viejo Almacén de Cachi is a reflection of how two seemingly distinct family traditions can unite in a single project with its own identity. Its founder and current owner, Fabio Ortiz, decided in 2008 to create a space that combined his mother's roots of an old warehouse that had operated for two decades in Cachi with his father's legacy of a pharmacy that later became a pharmacy in the city of Salta, which had been running for 68 years. It wasn't easy. Large chains displaced those neighborhood stores that had been a symbol of closeness, but far from resigning themselves, Fabio found a way to transform adversity into opportunity. Thus, the century-old furniture of that Salta pharmacy—with more than 120 years of history—found a new home in Cachi, inside a warehouse that began offering the essentials: homemade paprika and sweets, products intimately linked to the region. Little by little, that space that stood in the middle of a quiet block grew and came to life. Today, its shelves house more than 80 local products, including preserves, spices, handicrafts, and sweets, all made by local producers and artisans. Each item carries a story and an identity, making each purchase a bridge to the local culture. Recognition came when Mario Markic visited the store and photographed it on his program "En el Camino." Since then, visitors from all over the country—as well as figures from the entertainment and cultural world—have come to learn not only about the space, but also about the man behind the initiative. The Old Store of Cachi is more than a business: it is a symbol of perseverance, love for one's roots, and the ability to reinvent oneself without losing one's essence. Amid centuries-old furniture and flavors that tell stories, each visitor takes with them a piece of the past that still lives in the present. #Cachi #Salta #CulturalTourism #ArgentineStories #CharmingTravel (Original) La historia del Viejo Almacén de Cachi es el reflejo de cómo dos tradiciones familiares, aparentemente distintas, pueden unirse en un mismo proyecto con identidad propia. Su fundador y actual propietario, Fabio Ortiz, decidió en 2008 darle vida a un espacio que combinara las raíces maternas de un antiguo almacén que funcionó durante dos décadas en Cachi con la herencia paterna de una botica que luego se convirtió en farmacia en la ciudad de Salta, sostenida durante 68 años. No fue sencillo. Las grandes cadenas desplazaron a aquellos comercios de barrio que habían sido símbolo de cercanía, pero lejos de resignarse, Fabio encontró la manera de transformar la adversidad en oportunidad. Así, los muebles centenarios de aquella botica salteña —con más de 120 años de historia— hallaron un nuevo destino en Cachi, dentro de un almacén que comenzó ofreciendo lo esencial: pimentón y dulces caseros, productos íntimamente ligados a la región. De a poco, aquel local que se alzaba en medio de una cuadra silenciosa fue creciendo y cobrando vida. Hoy sus estantes guardan más de 80 productos locales, entre conservas, especias, artesanías y dulces, todos elaborados por manos de productores y artesanos de la zona. Cada artículo lleva consigo una historia y una identidad, convirtiendo cada compra en un puente con la cultura del lugar. El reconocimiento llegó cuando Mario Markic visitó el almacén y lo retrató en su programa En el Camino. Desde entonces, visitantes de todo el país —y también figuras del espectáculo y la cultura— se acercaron a conocer no solo el espacio, sino también al hombre detrás de la iniciativa. El Viejo Almacén de Cachi es más que un negocio: es un símbolo de perseverancia, de amor por las raíces y de la capacidad de reinventarse sin perder la esencia. Entre muebles centenarios y sabores que cuentan historias, cada visitante se lleva un pedacito del pasado que aún late en el presente. #Cachi #Salta #TurismoCultural #HistoriasArgentinas #ViajesConEncanto

When we were planning our vacation - the bodega Puña was our main destination. If you planning to have a lunch - it need to have a reservation. It's easy to make on a main website - they answering pretty fast. The lunch has many options with meat and without, and the porcions are quiet big! Everything what we tried here was very good! And I'm highly recomending to leave some space in your stomach for the dessert. And if you're planning just to visit bodega for having a small tour inside or just to drink couple glasses of wine with good view- you can just come without any reservation and enjoy your time. Special word about the wines of Puña - they have a really good collection with very acceptable price. We visited this bodega twice, first time was 2 years ago, and I can say the quality of food and wines didn't change during all this time.

Amazing vine, beautiful views, awesome carrot cake. 👌🏻

I was starving after skipping lunch, so I stopped by around 4 p.m. and luckily the restaurant was open. I had a T-bone steak and a cazuela de cabrito paired with a Gran Reserva Malbec. To my surprise, it was not only much more affordable but also tastier than the wines I’ve had at major wineries across Argentina, including Catena Zapata.

Pay attention to glasses. If they fall you have to pay them (they don’t tell you in advance). We paid one broken glass fell due to wind 12.000 pesos (double the price of 2 glasses of wine)… Advance communication is a necessary to be transparent

One of the best restaurants in Cachi. Excellent service and good wines. Proceed to the menu where you can choose between different courses accompanied by a wine recommendation.

The food was just ok, the view simply amazing! Just to seat outside and relax makes everything perfect! However, as mentioned the T Bone was not rare as asked but too well cooked and the bread was horrible. The waitress (Belen) was professional.

Lovely visit to the bodega and really nice wine tasting paired with bread, cheese and nuts. 300 pesos We also stayed for lunch and really enjoyed a medium rare T-bone steak and a local dish called locro. Personalised attention and great scenery.

(Translated by Google) It has a lot of space it's fun An unforgettable experience (Original) Tiene mucho espacio es divertido Una experiencia inolvidable

I would return... (Original) Sin servicio de hostelería. Un lugar impresionante, una casa con muchas escaleras de piedra y con cascada propia. Una cocina que envidia cualquier chef.
