Discover Tafí del Valle and Quilmes Ruins in a Day Tour
The Diaguita Indians called Tafí del Valle “the town of the magnificent entrance” and they were right: Tafí del Valle is one of the most heavenly destinations in Tucumán. Once people get to this summertime villa, the valleys welcome their visitors with their green and brown colors that contrast with the blue sky, with a dike over which the sun reflects and with unpaved roads that are a testimony of years of history. A must do when visiting San Miguel de Tucumán.

What's included in Discover Tafí del Valle and Quilmes Ruins in a Day Tour
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Hotel pick up from Tucuman (selected hotels only).
Leave Tucumán behind as you embark on a scenic journey up the valley via Route 307. This route takes you through the breathtaking Los Sosa River Gorge, a part of the Natural Reserve of the same name. Along the way, you'll catch sight of the iconic monument "El Indio".
Archaeological Reserve Menhires
Higher, the entrance to the Valley of Tafi is simply shocking. Surrounding La Angostura Dam you will arrive at The Mollar to visit The Menhires. It only takes a walk along the Archaeological Reserve Los Menhires and a look at the 50 types of rocks dating from more than 2000 years (from the beginning of the Christian era)- that rise up to 3 meters high- to be amazed by the archaeological legacy of the primitive races. The word menhir has a Celtic origin and it means “long stone”. The shapes represented in the mehnirs are surprising: sometimes they show human faces and other times animal faces, mainly felines. Others are geometric and there also are combinations of different types.
