The Quebrada de Cafayate is a long narrow valley, or ravine, which is found in the province of Salta, Argentina. This ravine joins two valleys, Calchaqui and Lerma valleys. The town of Cafayate, which lies at 20 miles from the ravine, is famous for its wine industry. The Quebrada de Cafayate is found at 1,360 km from Buenos Aires and at 1,400 meters above sea level. Provincial Route 68 winds through the ravine, parallel to Rios de las Conchas River, connecting the city of Salta in the Lerma Valley with town of Cafayate. There are 187 km between the two cities.
The town of Cafayate is an important tourist center for exploring the Calchaquíes valleys, and because of the quality and originality of the wines produced in the area. The largest golf course in South America, at 240 acres, is currently being developed just outside of the city center at La Estancia de Cafayate. The town was founded in 1840 by Manuel Fernando de Aramburu, at the site of a mission. In 1863 the Cafayate Department was created, of which Cafayate is the capital.
