: the countryside around Tafi is spectacular. There are several treks to try including the walk to (2 hours). Other places of interest include the 20m waterfall (13km from Tafi); (3 hour walk to some ruins); (a museum 6km from Tafi that explains local myths and legends); and the in El Mellar.
The main attraction for Tafi, however, is just to stroll around in the countryside and revel in the views and the peace and quiet. The town gets busier during the hotter months of December, Janauary and February when city dwellers from Tucuman come to escape the heat.
Tafi holds a cheese festival every year in February. |
