This circuit surrounds the city of Salta, taking the so-called "loop around the Valleys," a tour that includes various characteristic towns in the area, each with different landscapes and stories.

The first destinations are Cerrillos, La Merced, El Carril, and Coronel Moldes, where the Cabra Corral Dam is located, a water mirror of 127 km² (the second most important in Argentina), where water sports such as sailing, water skiing, and boat and jet ski rides can be practiced.

The tour continues in the town of La Viña, where the Jesuits cultivated the first vineyards in the area; to the site of Alemanía, and follows through the Quebrada de Las Conchas, which has a route of 83 km where wind and water erosion have created whimsical shapes in the terracotta-colored mountains.

Crossing the Medanos, we arrive at the town of Cafayate, the City of the Sun. Cafayate is a major tourist center, offering a wide variety of accommodations, from hostels to five-star hotels and boutique hotels.

World-renowned for its wines—especially Torrontés—Cafayate offers visits to the most traditional wineries in the area.

Every February, Cafayate is the chosen destination for thousands of tourists who love Argentine folk music. The Serenata a Cafayate attracts the most important folklore artists each year to pay tribute to the city. It is here that we will spend the night. The next day, we pass through the town of San Carlos and arrive at the village of Angastaco, the gateway to the mythical Quebrada de las Flechas. Following this road leads to Molinos, where the Parish Church, built in 1639, stands out. Here, the mummified remains of the last royalist governor, Don Nicolás Severo de Isasmendi, are laid to rest. In front of it is his estate, now the Hostería de Molinos, where we will spend the night.

Cachi is the next major destination on the following day in the loop around the Valleys. A town that predates Spanish domination, Cachi preserves old mansions along narrow streets. Visitors can explore the 18th-century Parish Church and the Anthropological Museum, as well as take excursions into Cachi to find beautiful landscapes and rushing streams near the sites of Las Pailas and La Paya, where remnants of pre-Columbian civilizations still exist.

Returning to Salta Capital, we cross the renowned Recta de Tintín, a 12 km straight road traced at about three thousand meters above sea level, dating back to Inca times.

Continuing along the road, we begin descending the Cuesta del Obispo, a winding road of 62 km that offers diverse panoramas of stunning beauty, reaching its highest point at the stone of the mill, at 3,348 meters above sea level. On the side of the Cuesta del Obispo is the Enchanted Valley, where condors nest.

On the final stretch of the circuit, we tour the tobacco-growing area of the province, one of the main resources of northern Argentina.

It is recommended to undertake this route over three days to fully appreciate the beauty of each town, practice some of the area's activities, and learn the stories that each place has to offer.
