Undoubtedly,
one of the most attractive regions in the country due to the infinite
variety of its colors and its scenery., the Northwest region has been
inhabited from immemorial times by different people. Their
influence can be observed in several archaeological sites, in the
astonishing handicrafts produced according to ancient traditions and in
the typical local cuisine. It is also the region which has best
preserved its colonial heritage, especially in the architecture of some
of its cities and small towns, some of which seem to be stuck in time. A
region where the sky seems to be closer than anywhere else. ADVENTURES IN CUYO
