Tafi del Valle, Tucuman, Argentina

I wanted to share some of the pictures I took last February when I went to Argentina. Tafi del Valle is a beautiful place located in Tucuman, a province in the northwest of Argentina. This small village has a "fix" population of 4000, but as every touristic place in the world that number, duplicates or triplicates during the holidays. I consider this place an oasis very close (75 min drive) to hell (San Miguel de Tucuman). Lots of people have a summer house in the village, they use it when they want to scape from hell, trust me, it is so wonderful to have a place like Tafi so close that you can go every weekend if you want.

Entering the valey

You can find very good food in the city, a lot of people produces they conserves and sell them to the public, that is a big part of Tafi's economy. Most of the restaurants showcase regional dishes, the same dishes the locals had been making since 200 years ago. In Tafi you can find a lot of organic food, most of the people grows they veggies and keep their animals in the back yard

If you are going to Argentina, make room for this beautiful place, you also are very close to Cafayate which produces a lot of very good wines and you can tour the vineyards for free....
