“Departing Cafayate to the north is a wild adventure on Ruta 40 (RN 40) as you venture through the Calchaquí Valley to the little village of Molinos, the next wine region we will explore. This highway is primarily dirt, sometimes as narrow as the car itself and reaches 16,404’ elevation on in the very north of the Salta Provence, making Ruta 40 the highest highway in the Americas.”
