Cafayate, nestled in Salta’s high-altitude wine region, blends small-town charm with big experiences—vineyards, mountain backdrops and the gateway to the Calchaquíes valleys. Hotels here are as diverse as the scenery: budget-friendly spots around the plaza for easy access to cafes, stylish boutique stays hidden among bodegas for wine lovers, and luxurious vineyard resorts where infinity pools overlook the Andes. Families often gravitate to the quieter edges of town, while adventurers base themselves near trails leading to the dramatic Quebrada del Rio de las Conchas.
