WHERE THE SKY TOUCHES THE EARTH: A JOURNEY TO COLOMÉ (POST PURE TOUR)
Embark on an extraordinary four-day, three-night adventure to Estancia & Bodega Colomé, a hidden gem nestled in the spectacular high-altitude plains of Salta, Argentina. This carefully curated experience seamlessly blends adventure, art, culture, community, farm-to-table cuisine, and world-class wines, all while showcasing a deep commitment to sustainability and local community development. The journey begins with a breathtaking 5-hour drive through mountain passes, high tablelands filled with iconic giant cardon cacti and guanacos, and authentic local villages, leading you to the oasis of Finca Colomé, a private reserve spanning 38,000 hectares.
Upon arrival, settle into the 9-bedroom boutique Estancia hotel, your tranquil home away from home, featuring private terraces and cozy fireplaces. Immerse yourself in the long winemaking history of Colomé with a tour of the modern winery and an exclusive tasting at Argentina’s oldest adobe winery, dating back to 1831. Art enthusiasts will be mesmerized by the unique James Turrell Museum, the only one of its kind in the world, offering a sensorial experience of light. Witness firsthand the estate’s commitment to sustainability through hydro power generation, organic farming, and animal husbandry practices that support the vineyards.
Engage with the local community, visiting a family home built entirely of adobe bricks and exploring the town center, which showcases Colomé’s ongoing efforts to improve quality of life of residents. Further activities to personalize your stay include poolside relaxation, gym workouts, tennis, boccia, guided hikes to archaeological ruins and cave paintings, horseback riding through the vineyards, or participating in a traditional empanada cooking class. As night falls, marvel at the billions of stars visible in the clear, high-altitude sky, untouched by light pollution.
This unique journey to Estancia & Bodega Colomé offers an unforgettable blend of appropriate luxury, sustainability, and authentic cultural experiences in the heart of Argentina’s Calchaqui Valley. We look forward to welcoming you!
