Breakfast is served. In the quaint El Alfarcito, community residents serve up two small (albeit yummy) sweet pastries along with a steaming cup of tea or a coffee. It’s a very light breakfast so feel free to bring back up supplies. Here, you may also sample hot coca tea. Slotted between the various stops are impressive views of the Lerma valley, which has rivers, tobacco plantations, horses, cows foraging, and wide, lush plains.

You’ll often hear the area being referred to as “Salta la Linda”; “Linda” is the word for beautiful in the tongue of the indigenous tribes that resided here.
