Very worth visiting. There are multiple view points over 50+ km, however only really 3 major sights that involve a bit of a walk: garganta del diablo, el anfiteatro and los castillos. Garganta and the anfiteatro are within one km of each other, so it's easy to walk between the two. You probably only need about 1 hour to see both sites. To get here without a tour bus, take the flecha bus from Cafayate bus terminal. It stops at Garganta. Cost is 112 pesos. The bus leaves at 08.30, 10.30 and 14.00. Takes about 50 or so minutes. Beautiful scenery along the way! After you've seen Garganta, you can walk to the anfiteatro and have a look around. There is a bus stop right outside on the opposite side of the street where you can catch a bus back to Cafayate. Price is the same. Pay the driver when you get on. The bus comes at 13.25 and 15.55. other options invite hitch hiking! You don't get to see Los Castillos properly doing this, but you do get a glimpse on the bus. If you do want to take a tour, the are a few companies in Cafayate (e.g. ipuna) which will bring you here for about 850 pesos. The tour is at 2.30 p.m. and lasts for about 4-5 hrs. Can't tell you about the quality, but the Google reviews are not encouraging!!

A nice option for a visit with children. This place is a dependency of the National University of Tucumàn. It is well maintained and offers beautiful spaces to enjoy nature. The reserve has a guided tour by park guards with educational talks with descriptions of the characteristics of the animals that are in the reserve, some in serious danger of extinction. The species are in a semi-captive state in controlled habitats. You can see anteater, corzuela, tapir, terrestrial turtle, yacarés, ñandúes, capybaras, foxes, cai monkeys, spider monkeys, toucans, wildcat and cougar, among others. A nice option with the possibility of learning about environmental education.
