pour une promenade dans le nord-ouest

Très belle promenade à travers Cachi et Cafayate dans le nord-ouest de l'Argentine. Ce qui nous a le plus plu, c’était les visites dans les caves à vin. Excellent: bons vins et quoi de mieux que de les sortir tout droit de l’usine!

für einen Spaziergang im Nordwesten

Sehr schöner Spaziergang durch Cachi und Cafayate im Nordwesten Argentiniens. Was uns am besten gefallen hat, waren die Besuche in den Weinkellern.

muy lindo paseo por Cachi y Cafayate en el noroeste argentino. Lo que mas nos gustó fue las visitas a las bodegas de vinos.. Excelente: buenos vinos y que mejor que tomarlo directo salido de fabrica!
