Top highlights

  • High altitude2,280 m
  • Quebrada de las FlechasThe fins. Late light. There is no town here — only the rock.
  • MolinosA village halt. The estancia if you need a night.
  • Road qualityMostly paved, some older patches. Isolated. Fuel in Cafayate; do not skip it. Summer storms cut the quebrada. Goats and a very empty radio.
