Local Flavor. After we reach Payogasta we will continue descending to encounter the magical town of Cachi. Traditional and staid, this village is typical for its colonial-type constructions, old houses lying on the very edge of narrow and cobbled street. Its church dates to the 18th Century and stands out for its floor, ceiling and furniture made of cactus wood and its adobe walls. Cachi has a well-recognized Anthropological Museum where the history of indigenous civilizations is exhibited in 5000 pieces unraveling a 10000-year-old story.

Sightseeing at Salinas Grandes. Salt mines We will take the ex-Route 40 for around 90 km northbound and we will finally arrive to a huge salt flat, Salinas Grandes (Jujuy).
