Rock formations, wine and goat cheese

This was the first part of our road trip with a rental car to Cafayate.  The landscape from Salta, via Cachi, to Cafayate is really beautiful, there are nice rock formations, cactus covered hills, and many kilometers of narrow dirt roads.

 Cornelia joined us for the two days on Ruta 40 and all of us got to enjoy some bumpy driving.  We made sure to honk before a tight curve.

Hey, we got our own monument: Las Torres!

 Cafayate is known for it's wines.  Especially the local white wine 'Torrontes'.  Semu was all happy about the Torrontes and Cabernet ice cream : ), local specialties.

 Little baby cabritas.  They call them Cabritas Suizas (little Swiss goats)  ; )

From Cafayate we looped back north to Salta on a different road with even more crazy canyons and rock formations.
