It is one more wonder of the nature. For those who travel on really tight budget it will be enough to see quebrada from the window of the scheduled bus Salta -Cafayate. Flecha bus does this route in 4 hours and the cost is 38 pesos. After the little settlement of Alemania you will see many ladnscapes like from the Wild West; interesting rock formations in colors…
In Cafayate (many wineries around in the valley) I recommend ¨Ël Balcon¨Hostel – 40 pesos per dorm bed. Great terrace to seat in the evening…
They offer 5-hours tour to quebrada (40 pesos pp) – I took it in the morning. It is worth the price but let you know that all places they visit (Garganta del Diablo, Amphitheatre etc) are along the main road Salta-Cafayate and you can reach them by hitchhiking – I did not know about that.
In the hot afternoon I took a bust from Cafayate to Tucuman – 5 hours and hefty 55 pesos. There were also nice views of the mountains from the window but the landscape is completly different – not comparable to full of colors quebrada. So hot! It is hard to carry backpack in extreme humidity and some 35 deg Celsius!
I reached Tucuman Hostel in the evening to get a dorm bed for 35 pesos. It is different culture here: they normally go to sleep at 1 am so the sleeping was not so good
