Thanks to the technical conditions of our vehicles, the "Safari to the Clouds" gives us the possibility to combine three different circuits in the Northwest of Argentina in one day. The first one, the "Road to the Clouds" follows the famous railway track of the "Train to the Clouds" through the “Quebrada del Toro” (Bull’s Gorge) up to San Antonio de los Cobres.
The second one goes through the Puna, along route 40, up to “Salinas Grandes” (Salt Lakes) of Jujuy. And the third one, the downhill trip of Lipan to the picturesque village of Purmamarca, at the base of the well known "Mount of the Seven Colors". The circuit ends in Salta.

In the middle of the last century several pairs of beavers were brought in from Canada in order to develop the fur industry.
The result was not as expected and the beavers only continued to reproduce on a large scale. These characters built their burrows in the middle of the ponds created by themselves. That's how they strongly modified the landscape.
The tour is done during the afternoon, because it is the only time of day where they usually leave their burrows. We approach challenging a difficult habitat and muddy roads, and after we learn all about their lives, we will enjoy a delicious stew under the most incredible sunset.
It is the combination of two locations: Cachi in the Alto Valle Calchaquí and Cafayate in the lower valley area. Arrive at lunchtime.
