Salta & Cafayate, Argentina

Salta pairs one of Argentina's best-preserved colonial centres with the high valleys of the Andes: whitewashed churches and folk peñas in the city, then the red gorges of the Quebrada de las Conchas and the Calchaquí Valleys beyond. Around Cafayate and Molinos, some of the world's highest vineyards produce Torrontés and Malbec, and historic estancias and haciendas now receive guests.
