Angastaco
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.
