We descend from Cerro Malcante and follow the national park road. Cactus lovers will be ecstatic; there are thousands of them here, in every conceivable size and shape. The park gets its name from Echinopsis terscheckii, also known as the Argentine saguaro or cardon grande cactus. Lovely. It’s worth coming and exploring the park vistas.
We drive towards Cafayate. There is a window of good weather coming, and we will use it to climb Cerro Bolsón de los Cerillos.
