About Centro / Plaza

The Centro is Cafayate's colonial heart, organised around the leafy Plaza San Martín and its cathedral, surrounded by adobe-style buildings, wine bars, artisan shops and several bodegas within walking distance. With most wineries reachable on foot or by bicycle, it is the epicentre of the town's booming wine tourism and home to its restaurants, the wine museum and the bulk of visitor accommodation. For investors, the Centro offers the strongest short-let and boutique-hospitality fundamentals in town, with gross dollar yields of 6-8% on tourist apartments and guesthouses. Pricing tracks the town median around US$118,000 (~US$839/m²), with restored central homes and small bodega-adjacent properties reaching US$200,000-US$350,000. Being fully urban and inland, it carries no border-zone ownership complication, making it a clean entry for foreign buyers.
