Description

We will pick you up promptly from your accommodation in San Miguel de Tucumán, after which we will head south.

The adventure begins as we traverse the breathtaking scenery of the Yunga jungles and Los Sosa Gorge. Our first stop will be the town of El Mollar, where we’ll explore the Los Menhires Archaeological Reserve and uncover the significance of its notable stone monuments.

Following this enriching visit, we'll proceed toward Tafí del Valle, regarded as one of the most picturesque locations in Tucumán province. Upon our arrival, we'll visit a local artisan's house to engage in the ceramics workshop. This unique opportunity allows us to learn about traditional techniques to create pieces inspired by the indigenous cultures of the Calchaquí Valleys.

After completing the ceramics workshop, you will have free time to have lunch in the heart of Tafí del Valle. Once we've gathered again, our journey continues to another artisan's house for a textiles workshop. In this session, you will discover the intricate processes of dyeing, spinning, and weaving with local wools to create various garments.

As our day draws to a close, we will start our return trip, which includes a brief visit to the Tambo La Sofía Cheese Factory. Here, we will observe the production methods of their cheeses and enjoy spectacular views of Tafí del Valle from their lookout point.

After soaking in these magnificent vistas, we will make our way back to your hotels in San Miguel de Tucumán, completing this enriching journey after approximately 9 hours together.
