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!!

The scenes in the way to Acsibi are unreal. Nice 1.5hr hike through drastic scenery changes until arrival at a very cozy unique spot with caves, picnic spots and endless climbing opportunities for the younger ones. We did it with a 14, 12 and 8 year old. Run by a family that has been in Business for over 30 years and with ownership of the land for over 5 generations. The Aban family are a true example of protecting the Land, respecting their heritage, knowing their history and they are a strong driver promoting sustainability practices and bringing their small Seclantas village together providing progress, jobs and protecting their culture and history. This trip is a mist without a doubt, and the Adan family are a delight to meet. Enjoy!

You will not see a more perfect natural cone in the world. About 70 km from Tolar Grande, comes into view the most amazing site. Set on the edge of the Salar de Arizaro, on a high plateau, surrounded by salt, the dark mass makes a striking image. Another must see place on La Puna, Northwest Argentina. Gilles

I loved this area with so many amazing rock formations. It was a short walk into the amphitheater from our bus and we were fortunate to have a market seller play music for us with our guide. Such a lovely sound echoing through the rock formation. We were sad to see some silly young people climb up on the rock wall, surely that is forbidden.

This is a wonderful park after a great ride up. Wonderful scenery with friendly people. Some small stores, a small restaurant (sandwiches and the like). Highly recommend! Remember to take sun screen! The gondola ride is enchanting!
10. Parque Nacional Los Cardones
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 980 reviews
These ruins are relatively unknown and are very well preserved and set in beautiful surrounds. The site is a small pukara similar to the Quilmes ruins and was an important strategic point for protecting the mountain pass from Tafi del Valle before entering the Valle Calchaqui. The site's name comes from the "cardones" or thistles (Trichocereus pasacana) that make up the abundant vegetation that grows there. Some of these are as tall if not taller than those at the Los Cardones National Park in Salta.

Amazing landscape all-through the park. It's high-altitude mountainous desert and when I was there the whole desert was blooming - AMAZING scenery !! You need your own wheels though as you need to cover ground to enjoy the park.
