Adoramos o passeio para Cafayate! Obrigado Guillermo pela paciencia!
It was a really great day trip! Cafayate was a nice surprise. Quilmes ruins were also very interesting, very rich history from ancient tribes in America.
Estuvimos en agosto pasado con mi mujer en Tafi del Valle, y aprovechamos esta excursion para ir a Cafayate en Salta. El paseo incluye una parada por las Ruinas de Quilmes que fue una grata sorpresa por las historias que nos contó Guillermo nuestro gran guía! Vale la pena hacerla!
Nous étions en août dernier avec ma femme à Tafi del Valle et nous avons profité de cette excursion pour nous rendre à Cafayate à Salta. La visite comprend une escale près des Ruines de Quilmes, une agréable surprise pour les histoires que Guillermo nous a racontées à propos de notre excellent guide! Ça vaut le coup!
Wir waren letzten August mit meiner Frau in Tafi del Valle und nutzten diesen Ausflug, um nach Cafayate in Salta zu fahren. Die Tour beinhaltet einen Stopp bei den Ruinen von Quilmes, was eine angenehme Überraschung für die Geschichten war, die Guillermo uns über unseren großartigen Reiseführer erzählt hat! Es lohnt sich zu tun!
