Candelaria

Native village in the mountains


Off The Beaten Path

Address:
Highway 19
Santa Cantarina Mountains
La Candelaria, Salta 23000

Description

This is definitely a must see! The old village of Candelaria is in the mountains 25 miles north of Cabo. It remains a center for the ancient practices of witchcraft, and is known for the abundance of exotic palms, bamboo and mango trees here. Both trips, up and back, are magnificent because of the different views. Most ATV rentals offer a guided tour to this location or you can make arrangements with most of the local hotels for other forms of transporation. See it before it dissapears.
