Cafayate to Catamarca 350km
Our short ride today took us over the high mountain road through the Sierra Aconouija and town of Taffi del Valle before heading down into the more jungle area of this region. After lunch we took main route 48 south to San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca. Having a different feel than other towns of this size in this region the local authorities have been energetically promoting the province's natural products of wines, walnuts, olive oils and jams.
