Piedra del Molino – The Colorados

Touring cuesta del obispo, piedra del molino, recta de tin tin, los colorados.

Departing from your hotel at 8am, we will head for the National Road 68 taking us through huge tobacco farms, one of Salta’s most important crops, until we reach Route 33. From there we will head to Piedra del Molino and the Escoipe Ravine, a route of colourful mountains, small towns, and spectacular views. On arrival at the Piedra del Molino, the entrance to the Los Cardones National Park, we will prepare our bikes and start living the real biking adventure through Cachi Pampa and the Tin-Tin trail which used to be part of the Incan’s trail many years ago. Here we will also have the opportunity to site groups of guanacos (llama species), and condors soaring through the sky. We will continue the tour via a route known as ‘Los Colorados’ where for about 15kms we will cycle through unimaginably beautiful views. Finally, we will finish with a taste of local flavours in a delicious picnic lunch, a perfect moment to reflect on the journey and recharge our batteries before driving back to Salta City. Arrival time to Salta: 6pm

Tips on what to wear in any season in NORTH OF ARGENTINA

On the Bike

– Cycling jerseys or athletic shirts
– Cycling shorts
– Cycling shoes (if you bring your own pedals)
– Sneakers (if you don’t bring your own pedals)
– Athletic socks
– Arm/leg warmers
– Lightweight, waterproof, wind-resistant jacket or vest
– Bike gloves
– Bike saddle/cover (if you prefer your own)

Do I Need to Bring Special Cycling Gear?

Cycling shorts are designed to provide extra padding when spending the whole day in the saddle. You’ll be glad to have them—don’t forget the chamois cream!
If you bring your own cycling shoes, you must bring your own pedals. If you’ve never used clip-in pedals before, we don’t recommend using them on tour.
Arm and leg warmers are essential for cooler weather. Wear them with your short-sleeve jersey and shorts for lightweight, easy-to-pack, and effective warmth.
Bike gloves are a preference, but are recommend for long tours. The padding in gloves can ease arm, shoulder, and joint fatigue.
