When to go?

The best time to come is September to December (spring and early summer), when temperatures are warm, the colours are fantastic, and the rains (which make roads impassable in the valleys from January to March) have yet to arrive. The rainy season lasts from the end of December to mid-March. The second half of March, April and May are lovely. July and August bring cool mornings and nights (zero, no lower) but daytime temperatures climb to 20 degrees. Chicoana’s Fiesta Patronal is in July / August and the Pachamama festivities are in August. Easter is great, if noisy.

Tony will pick you up at the airport, so this is a great first place to stay in the north west, and a good springboard for exploring Cafayate (wine country) and the Calchaquí Valley.
