Los Médanos
White sand dunes northeast of town, where you can watch the sunset against vineyards and mountains, sandboard and take photos.
Los Médanos is a dune area on the northeastern outskirts of Cafayate. The fine white dunes contrast sharply with the red mountains and green vineyards in the distance. From town, it takes about 15 minutes by car or bike along a dirt road to the parking point, and then a walk in. Watching the sunset from the dunes and sandboarding are favorite activities for locals. There are no facilities, so bring your own drinking water. Winds can kick up a lot of dust.
