Located just a mile above the sea level in the foot of the Andes, this little town from Argentina is a paradise for wine lovers. While the quintessential wine lovers will never feel like coming out of those amazing local wine yards with a classic setting to pamper you on your vacation; there is a lot more in store for the ardent travelers! Argentina is a back-packer’s favorite and will be an amusing surprise for the shutter bags.

The Cacan is the local language and implies the meaning of Cafayate to be the “Grave of sorrows”. We disagree! It’s indeed a delightful town to be in!
