Angastaco
lies 245km. away from the city of Salta traveling down Provincial
route No. 33 and then switching to national route No. 40.
Located 2,000m above sea level, it was primitively an Indian
settlement. It is situated at the confluence of the rivers
Angastaco and Calchaquí. Its architecture belongs to the primitive
Spanish period, and a noteworthy feature is its old church
standing on the way out of the town. Following route No. 40
up to San Carlos, the road runs through the Quebrada de las
Flechas, a geological formation dating from the tertiary period.
