Moved from Salta to Cafayate. La Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat).
From Salta, we will travel south to Cafayate.
This route is full of stunning scenery.
■The Devil's Throat (La Garganta del Diablo)
Arrived at a certain valley.
At first, I was about to pass by, but because of a strange atmosphere, I approached, and there were several cars parked there.
Someone was singing with a guitar, and it seemed to be called "The Devil's Throat," and the sound was very resonant.
Perhaps it's more about the quality of the location than the singer's skill. It was a wonderful sound.
It is quite something.
Here is the accommodation: It's not bad.
Ruta 40 Hostelling International
Dormitory: 120 pesos (approximately 1,040 yen), includes breakfast.
The house of an artist.
In front of the museum in Kafayate, there is a very unusual "artist's house."
It is interesting...

Museum of Wine and Vine.
I visited the Museo de la Vid y el Vino, a museum about wine and this region, located in Cafayate.
It was surprisingly expensive because they have a separate admission fee for foreigners.
Usually, separate admission fees for foreigners are set in developing countries.

Bodega Domingo Hermanos
I visited a winery called Bodega Domingo Hermanos, located in the outskirts of Cafayate.
Here, you can taste three wines for about 10 pesos. Cheese is also included.
The cheese is delicious.
■First wine, approximately 450 yen.
It has a lingering bitterness, but it's a light-tasting wine that's good for drinking in the summer at a low price and for a refreshing experience.
It's not suitable for celebratory occasions.
■ Second wine, approximately 450 yen.
The slight bitterness is a bit concerning, but considering the price, it is sufficiently delicious.
I would prefer a more refreshing taste, but it might be too much to ask for more at this price.
It is not a high-end wine, but if it is at a level where you can drink it occasionally and not feel dissatisfied, then it is fine.
It is not for celebratory occasions.
■ Third wine, approximately 600 yen.
For this price, it has a "slightly" refreshing taste, and it has a fruity aroma.
In some strange Japanese restaurants, they might serve it for around 3,000 yen.
It is enjoyable enough.
It is not for special celebrations, but it can be used for small celebrations.
■ Wine bought at a nearby convenience store, approximately 160 yen.
It's cheaper than the other three, but this one might be more refreshing and delicious?
Perhaps it's intended for local consumption?
A wine that costs 150 yen, but it seems like it would cost 4500 yen in Japan. I've recently started to think that maybe the quality of Japanese wine is just too low. The wine you drink overseas is cheap and delicious.
I even think that maybe Japanese restaurants are making customers who aren't regulars drink low-quality wine. I think a lot of people in Japan would say "Okay" if they were told it cost 10,000 yen. This place is good.
