Église San José de Cachi, Argentina: Cachi is a charming little town with homes and buildings built of adobe and lies just above the Rio Calchaqui with views of the snow capped mountains in the distance. In the tranquil Central Plaza there is a Spanish colonial church, Iglesia San José, a National Historical Monument and a small but very good archaeological museum, Museo Arqueológico de Cachi Pío Pablo Díaz. Nice place to take a stroll ...stop by a café for a coffee and enjoy the fresh air... Cachi is a small city in Salta Province Argentina. It is the capital of the Cachi Department. Wikipedia

Cachi to Cafayate

Today, we drove from the small town of Cachi to Cafayate, which appears to be a center of wine production.

Before we headed out, we stopped at the local museum, which was unexpectedly closed. So we stopped in a local shop which had lots of local crafts, which we are suckers for. Since we are trying to avoid bringing a lot of stuff home, we can always say my sister Barb would like that!

Then we headed south. Cafayate is 160km (100 miles) south of Cachi, and the Google estimate is 4 hours. This seemed generous, but given the condition of the road and the scenery, it was actually low for us. We were over 5 hours.

The road is almost entirely unpaved. It's not dirt or gravel; it is just graded into the area's rocky soil. It's also extremely winding and of varying widths, from ~30 feet wide to 10. For most of the route, 40km/hr was fast; in some areas, it was much slower.

But the scenery was varied and impressive. The only problem was finding a place to stop and take a photo. The best scenery was where the road was one lane wide and on a blind curve.

The whole route follows the Calchaqui River valley, so the overall grades were moderate. But there were times when, on the crest of a hill, we could see nothing of the road ahead.

The river bottom is green and lush, completely contrasting with the surrounding terrain.

The cacti were starting to bloom and we saw masses of them.

At the start of the trip, the cardon cacti filled the hillsides.

A common house plan was a long building with a porch on the front and only one room deep. We saw these still in use and abandoned.

Mountains were on both sides of the river, but the ones across the river were most visible.

The road might be in the rover bottoms but more often on the hillsides above. That meant that it often was on the steep side of the hill.

As we headed further south, vertical sandstone outcroppings became more frequent.

Across the river, the mountains became composed of twisted and deformed layers.

Then, we crossed the river and headed into those layers.

The rock was tilted at severe angles, creating an amazing landscape we wound through.

Luckily, there was little traffic, and we could stop briefly for photos. But we still needed to avoid blind spots by checking the rearview mirror before stopping.

It was really a fantastic drive!

The bridges were also one lane! One even had wood planking! This is on a national highway.

The varying contortions of the stone were continuing surprises.

At last, we hit pavement and vineyards and knew we were close to Cafayate.

For the next four nights, we are staying in a beautiful hotel surrounded by grapevines. We will take day trips, visit local vineyards, and relax.

Aujourd'hui 140 km en 8 heures. C'était extraordinaire tout en piste. On suit la RN40. Les premiers km sont beaux mais sans plus. Après Seclantas on attaque les vallées Calchaquies merveilleuses de couleurs et de formes. Un arrêt à Molinos pour voir une église et l'ancien palais du gouverneur une hacienda avec plusieurs patios qui est un hôtel de luxe. On a enchaîné avec la Finca el Carmen une ferme magnifique d'après les guides mais très d��cevante. La Quebrada de las Flechas a été l'extraordinaire. On se croirait sur la lune. On retrouve le goudron à 20k de Cafayate. Je n'ai jamais eu une voiture aussi poussiéreuse de ma vie.

OBJETIVO DE LOS LIBERTARIOS DE MILEI

CULPAR AL GOBERNADOR GUSTAVO SÁENZ

Difícil el COMIENZO DE LAS CLASES… Nación (MILEI) dejó de mandar los fondos del incentivo docente

MILEI da de baja las pensiones no contributivas, afectado a miles de personas con discapacidad y adultos mayores

MILEI baja la transferencia de fondos a los organismos descentralizados de nación, parques nacionales sin recursos, afecta el parque nacional los cardones en el valle calchaqui.

MILEI baja los gastos corrientes donde están los programas de Salud, que pasará con los pacientes que se hacen diálisis, que pasará con los ciudadanos que no tienen obra social.

MILEI baja los bienes de capital, no hay para los módulos alimentarios, no hay para medicamentos, sea para pacientes con enfermedades terminales ni para los diabéticos.

CUALQUIERA DE ESTAS BAJAS AFECTAN A LA PROVINCIA DE SALTA DIRECTA O INDIRECTAMENTE

Posiblemente muchos dirán, que importan los organismos descentralizados, mientras no me afecten a mi y mientras sancionemos la casta.

Muchos dirán que importan las pensiones contributivas, con tal que saquemos la casta y al Kirchnerismo.

Otros quizás se expresen en contra del incentivo docente, total yo no soy docente.

Otros dirán apoyamos a Milei en las buenas y en las malas, es la única solución para sacar al Kirchnerismo

Otros dirán es necesario el ajuste, alguien tiene que pagar la fiesta, (y quien dijo que lo debe de pagar el pueblo)

CARADURAS que decían que lo pagaría la casta, LA CASTA NO SON LOS GOBERNADORES elegidos por el pueblo exactamente igual que MILEI, y que los legisladores, NO SON LA CASTA, están legitimados por las mismas elecciones.

SI LES PARECE QUE LA SOLUCIÓN SEA HACER SUFRIR AL PUEBLO, ENTONCES NO PODRÉ COMPARTIR SUS IDEAS, PORQUE ANTEPONEN SUS IDEOLOGÍAS A LA VIDA DE LOS CIUDADANOS.

Este pequeño rincón del valle calchaquí le da la bienvenida deseándole una feliz estadía.

Si el destino guió sus pasos a este pueblo, aprovechamos para invitarlo cordialmente a descubrir la poesía escondida en sus viejas casonas y calles, dónde el tiempo está dormido.

Por favor, procure no despertarlo.

Calchaquí can be seen andando en patas most of the day, not only in the bureau, but everywhere in general. If he gets surprised by the battle, he will run barefoot because no nail or glass can stand in his way.
