The sky is cloudy, yet it doesn\u2019t look like it will rain. After a nice breakfast, we hop into the van and start our two hour trip to Piedra del Molino, where we will stop, grab the bikes and start descending the famous and impressive Cuesta del Obispo.<\/p>\n

This beautiful road is located halfway between Salta and Cachi<\/strong>, going through some of the most prominent landscapes in the region and the country.<\/p>\n

Why the name Cuesta del Obispo?<\/h2>\n

According to history, some bishop from Tucuman spent an uncomfortable night in the road in 1622 during his long trip to Cachi. We still honor him in the present day by calling the road The Bishop\u2019s Slope<\/strong>.
\nThis route starts at approximately at 1700 meters above sea level and reaches 3340 at Piedra del Molino. Only 20 kilometers full of twists and curves, so prepare to feel a bit dizzy!<\/p>\n

After completing this set of turns, we reach the highest point. An authentic granite millstone was left there decades ago by some merchant who had some problems with his wagon on his way to Cachi, and decided to never come back for it.
\nFrom this point, it is possible to continue crossing Los Cardones National Park (through an old, 19 kilometer straight Inca road called Recta del Tin Tin) to get to a town called Payogasta before reaching Cachi. This is completely doable if you have a car, however, a good option is to hire a\u00a0full day guided tour to Cachi<\/a>\u00a0if you don\u2019t feel like driving and are looking for the extra information only a guide can provide.<\/p>\n

However, we came here to ride our bikes, remember?<\/h2>\n

After going through the security measures and making sure all the equipment is ready, we start cycling downhill.
\nEnjoying unique views, the wind blowing in our faces and feeling like we are floating over the pavement.
\nThere are some stops on the way to enjoy the landscape, eat a snack, take some pictures and catch a breath before some more pedaling.
\nThe support vehicle is always by our side. Making sure everything is fine and ready to take us safe and sound back to Salta after a day of adrenaline<\/a>.<\/p>\n
