• The ride begins in Hernan’s farm. Riders start moving to the southeast on a gravel road. After a few minutes, they deviate towards a large arid field covered by different species of shrubs and inhabited by the typical animals of the area (foxes, partridges, hares, etc.). Straight ahead you will be accompanied by the mighty Cerro Zorrito, full of history, myths and legends. This is one of the highest in the Calchaqui Valleys.
• Little by little, the land is painted by different shades of red and oranges. The ride runs along a tributary of water called Colorado River. This is dry for most of the year but you can still see the traces of the water. This is the typical Cafayate landscape. Riders will gradually enter a gully of red earth, buried at the foot of the hills. They will zig zag their way on the magical mountain canyon full of red and white sediments. Here one can appreciate the silence, peace and mystery of the area.
• After a while, the path becomes impossible for horses to continue. Here, riders will go down and continue on their own feet. They will walk around the canyon, until a cave called “the old Salamanca”. North legends say these were the caves of the devil. Hopefully not this one! Guests can take pictures and contemplate the amazing topography.
• After the walking and resting, riders will go back on their horses and head back to the farm. If the ride is in the afternoon, they will be able to see a beautiful sunset.

* All rides can be done in the morning as well as in the afternoon.
