Cuesta del Obispo
Cachi is a beautiful village, located northwest of the Calchaquí Valleys, rested on the eastern side of the "Nevado de Cachi", a mole of 6720 meters. and bordered by the Calchaquí river, who was born not far from there, in the tops of the "Nevado de Acay", another mole of 5950 meters above sea level. Its name derives from a confusion that took the natives, who mistook the snowy summit of the hill with a saline. This is not so unreasonable, considering that the region abounds in salt and its summit never before achieved, or were not reported until then.
