Abra del Infiernillo
An Andean pass at 3,042 m above sea level, where the landscape changes sharply as you cross from the humid valley into the dry highlands.
Route 307 climbs about 20 km beyond Tafí del Valle to reach the pass. The vegetation on either side is markedly different: grassland on the eastern slopes, and cacti and arid scrubland on the western slopes. The pass has signs and viewpoints, and it is the necessary route toward Amaicha del Valle and Cafayate. At this altitude, keep warm and watch for altitude sickness.
