The Mollar: ancient stone structures
Crossing the dam we’re almost to Tafi del Valle, our home for a few days, we settled in the cottage we rented and went out to enjoy this beautiful summer village.The climate of this region is a special guest, as it remains stable and pleasant throughout the year.

Sunset in Tafi del Valle
Missing a few days for The National Cheese Festival, held each February in Tafi, so we can see and taste the typical food Pascanas selling as locro humitas, homemade sausages and desserts like sweet cayote, alfajores of Capio and Of course, the famous cheese tafinisto.

Locro: impossible to pass through this region without enjoyment
We take a tour of the picturesque town center and the exhibition of Tafi, where excel, and throughout the Northwest, the crafts of the area.

A ride through the landscapes that surround the area guided by a Vaqueano, it is imperative to discover the natural surroundings. At night there is always some pain, to share and enjoy music and the typical food of this region. The next day we visited the Jesuit Museum of Banda, where there is a museum, historical, archaeological and religious art, the richness of its heritage and the building is one of the largest in the NOA.

Stay In The rooms are the only cheese that is still producing the original recipe left by the Jesuits in the seventeenth century. As a farewell to this town that energized us and dazzled us with its landscapes, in the afternoon, we went to the Angostura dam, where you can enjoy water sports and relax with a breathtaking sunset. The next morning we journey to the Calchaquies Valley and stopped at La Bourse, an archaeological site, which contains the presence of indigenous architectural expressions, made of stone, built between 300 BC and 800 of the current era. We’re almost to Amaicha Valley to continue to the ruins of Quilmes and Cafayate in Salta, but that is another trip .

Knowing that prices would be high and also everything that involves travel and expenses on the hill, I loaded it with provisions before leaving, I made sure the week at the hut and was covered in advance and tried not to think too much in silver, because I would not enjoy these well-deserved vacation. Go with the boys meant a blanket of care, mostly through the Hill, snow and my wife was not going to stop any move to the cold side. Clarification, my kids are 4 and 1 year but to my surprise that she was more relaxed and we enjoyed everyone equally.

The first day on the Hill, where is all a mess, we slid on ice on the rise with the car, that “girls are my boots,” that “very cold”, that “I can not walk with these teams “Auxilioooo !!! By the noon we were a little more organized, eating a hamburger, something highlighted in the price, (but I said I would not make trouble for the money) in a mountain hut that looked like a story.

Chapelco
I was amazed as my little boy of 4 years adapted so quickly to ski, down the tracks as if he had years of practice. My parents helped us with the care of the smallest and skiing with my wife we relaxed, enjoying the wonderful scenery provided by the Chapelco with the Lanin Volcano in the background and those hardwood trees that line the tracks.

Lanin National Park entrance
We take a few days to visit the area, went to Junin de los Andes, where we noticed the renewed church, with a whole Mapuche iconography carved wooden decorations, like a church shared by 2 religions (the Mapuche and the Christian ), following the road around Lake Huechulafquen skirt to reach the base of Lanin Volcano. An amazing trip, but I think these broad meadows and forests would have enjoyed more in the summer. Another departure we did was visit a Mapuche community in vantage point Bandurrias, where we took some friends who live in San Martin, a very quiet place on Lake Lacar, almost untouched as we could make a burned roast vegetables on the grill and a Patagonian rib for an unforgettable evening.

Ending the week I went to buy chocolates and candy classics to bring a gift to those who remained in Buenos Aires, and eventually we prepare for a return laaaarga and family car.
