Cachi Trips & Tours

History-filled towns, dramatic escarpments, and nature in its wildest forms - Cachi does it all.

There are road trips and then there are road trips in Argentina, and the route to Cachi is one of the most spectacular. Take in surreal views of cloud-brushing peaks and lush valleys, from the precipitous journey up the summit of Cuesta del Obispo where the 'King of the Sky' catches thermal winds, to the dreamy Enchanted Valley. The terrain is ever-changing and you can explore numerous landscapes on hikes to Incan remnants, amongst groves of 'candelabra' cacti in the high desert, and into the astonishing Acsibi Caves. Get to know the region and its long-standing traditions in quaint villages on the way to Cachi, where there are overflowing craft markets and intriguing museums to browse.

This is my third adventure with Timbuktu. The service is always exceptional. Joanna has been my contact for all three trips and she communicates every step of the way and is a joy to work with. We then were connected with Veronica for our time in Argentina and Brazil, and she was the ultimate communicator during our travels. We had amazing experiences visiting our bucket list spots such as Iguazu Falls and Patagonia. The trip was filled with amazing beauty, great lodging and wonderful food. Everyone was friendly and helpful. And the icing on the cake was walking with the penguins in Ushaia at the end of our trip. Absolutely stellar travel experience.

Another amazing trip!

As always, Timbuktu makes our trip planning easy and helps with every little detail along the way. FYI, Joanna is the best. We spent 12 days in Morocco and every riad was stunning, well located, with great food and attentive staff. Our driver for the trip was perfect with a friendly and helpful temperament. We visited all the sites with ease and enjoyed them all immensely. A truly wonderful trip. We have used Timbuktu previously for an amazing adventure in Kenya & Rwanda, will use them for Argentina this winter and for Cambodia the following winter. Their help and service is exceptional.

We are so thankful to Timbuktu for planning the honeymoon of our dreams! All of the staff members at each destination were excellent, cordial, timely, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to be around.. We never experienced delays in our travels, all of our tours ran as planned, and the food and wine was superb. The hard work had been done for us, and we really did only have to enjoy the full immersion experience in Argentina. This is one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had, and we will happily recommend the company to our family and friends. Thank you so much Michael for all of your efforts! We will never forget this vacation.
