| Los Castillos |

| El Obelisco |
After Quilmes came Cafayate. We made a brief stop there to top up the gas tank and grab a map before pushing on. Within a few minutes of being on National Route 68 we were surrounded by stunning rock formations. "Los Castillos" and "El Obelisco" were only two of our multiple stops along this stretch of road.

| Easily agitated llama |
We came across this ornery llama on the edge of the road. We encountered several groups of free range goats and llamas and although they seemed fairly road wise and aware of the traffic, they had me covering the brake for much of the drive.

| The Amphitheatre |
One of the most popular formations along this road is the "Amphitheatre". The acoustics are phenomenal and were on full display during our visit. A small band was playing inside the unique venue when we arrived.

| The Devil´s Throat |
Just around the corner lies the "Devil´s Throat", which is the crown jewel of La Quebrada de las Conchas. We made the technical climb as far as we were permitted to do so for safety reasons. During our ascent we met a few other brave souls exploring the gorge. Some of which were using some unorthodox techniques for the descent. We cringed as one lady opted to slide down a jagged rock face on her rear end. It was no where near a flawless dismount.
