These are ruins of the settlement of Andean peoples who managed to fight off or at least coexist with the Inca and resisted the Spanish for about 150 years until they were finally rounded up and sent on a death march to Buenos Aires in yet another infamous Spanish episode. The survivors give their name to the town/suburb south of the capital. The settlement is well fortified but has a large residential area. You can spend a few pleasant hours wandering around. There is a small museum and a great little cafe there.
This is a bit of an odd spot. It's a small bar but the rooms facing the street have been loaded up with bric a brac for sale. However it's better priced than the places on the plaza and the food is reasonable. Some wok and fish dishes are available in addition to the standard fare.
A bed and breakfast in the center of Cafayate, featuring fine art photography gallery, photography studio and two rooms available for travelers: private bathroom, independent entrance, parking, Wi-Fi, breakfast included.
This place has rooms set around the pool. They are all neat and tidy. Breakfast is not included in the price but is available. It has good views over the nearby vineyards and hills and is situated in a very quiet street about 8 minutes walk from the main plaza
