You'll trace the rim of Lago Lácar (Lácar Lake) for 2.5 miles (4 km), then venture into an ancient oak and cypress forest, where much of your journey continues.
Stop at Correntoso Lake’s scenic shores for snacks such as fried cakes, queso casero (cheese) or ham (own expense), made by the Mapuche community of Quintupurai.
Continue to Small Mirror Lake (Lago Espejo Chico) and Bodega Ruca Malen, passing bridges, an old inn and tranquil rivers, and see views that extend as far as Chile from the Espejo Grande viewpoint.
After 6.2 miles (10 km), your small group arrives at Villa La Angostura, a village with a shopping center, a historical diplomatic residence called El Mesidor and the Bahia Manzano hotel.

Salta’s landscapes took my breath away, especially during the scenic drives that revealed hidden gems around the city. While the wine tasting was delightful, I wished for a bit more variety in the food options offered during meals, but overall, I loved immersing myself in the local charm.

Our four-day adventure in Salta was a delightful blend of scenic landscapes and rich culture. One memorable moment was when we visited a local vineyard for a tasting; the Malbec was exquisite, and the views of the surrounding mountains were simply breathtaking. The city itself charmed us with its colonial architecture and lively plazas, perfect for leisurely strolls in the evenings. However, we did feel that some of the included meals could have been better organized, as we waited a bit too long at one restaurant. Overall, it was a fantastic way to discover the heart of this beautiful region together.
