About Plaza 9 de Julio
Plaza 9 de Julio marks Cachi's historic core. Trees, paths and resting areas form a small space surrounded by low buildings. The square helps to understand the scale of the town before heading out on road excursions into the valley.
Iglesia San José and the Museo Arqueológico Pío Pablo Díaz are part of the ensemble. Walking around the square's sides, visitors can see the temple's white façade, the adobe walls and the circulation spaces that link these buildings. It's a way to get to know the center without relying on a vehicle.
Use the walk to take a break between the museum and the church or after returning from the road. The town's daily life shares the space with visitors, and the stroll does not require a scheduled activity. In cold months, the difference between sun and shade can be large even during the day.
