“It was wonderful! The guide was amazing! The scenery was beautiful. The transportation was comfortable. The only thing we would change is that the title of the trip is a little deceiving, as you only visit one winery”
A long but rewarding Salta day trip to Purmamarca and Salinas Grandes, with high-altitude views, salt flats, local markets, and bilingual guides.
“We had a wonderful day with our guide Pablo visiting the Salinas and Purmamarca. Both places are memorable, Purmamarca in particular is something unique that all pictures I saw before could not fully describe, yet the journey itself is probably the greatest part. Pablo explained us a lot in a funny way and helped us taking the best pictures. I definitely recommend this tour.”

“The tour guide Ximena and the driver Mario were both fantastic. The drive is beautiful and we found a lovely place to try local food and wines in Cafayate on our own. I wish there was a tour that made more stops and spent more time in the scenic places. This itinerary seems pretty typical but I think instead of trying to do a little bit of everything (scenic stops, wine tour, shopping) having more focused tours would be better, even though it’s still obviously a limited time and there’s only so much that’s possible on such a far day trip. I understand why people say to rent a car…”

“It's a beautiful tour. The mountains in Hornocal are magnificent. Beautiful views throughout the tour. The tour was conducted in two languages: Spanish and English. The time flew by. The bus was very late and the guide did not warn us about it, although we left all contacts. We did not have time to visit the cities mentioned in the description, we only saw Hornocal and Humahuaca.”
Review of Salta’s Cachi and Los Cardones tour, with mountain roads, giant cacti, colonial streets, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“If it’s not on your bucket list - skip it. Otherwise it’s an OK trip but make sure you have a window seat because you won’t be stopping at the beautiful viewpoints. The highlight of the day was spotting animals (e.g. we have seen condors up close). The agency refuses to communicate in English and what’s app pickup communication as well (so you have to translate yourself - very annoying, stressful and time consuming). The guide itself spoke English and the guide was OK. The bus was smelly (spilt wine or rotten fruits) and the seatbelts didn’t work properly.”

“The actual town of Cafayate isn't anything special, you basically do this tour for the scenery and the on the way there and back and it was stunning. Enough stops to break up the long bus ride and Angie was great”

“We booked and paid a tour in english but the guide did not speak english, only spanish. Very disappointed as we did not get any of the explanations along the trip.... i think there was just not enough english speakers to make a separate trip and then we got to be included by the company in a spanish tour... a long day not understanding anything...”

“We had a wonderful time. There were 3 of us and it was our best excursion yet. Cesar was an excellent guide. His English was very good and we enjoyed all the info he shared with us. He had a lot of knowledge of the area and it’s history. The Hill of Seven Colours was wonderful but Salinas Grandes was amazing!! What an awesome experience. I was thankful to have my sunglasses - the reflection was very bright - and we loved the pictures we had taken there. Bring a sweater with you, some of the viewpoints at the high altitudes were chilly. The lunch stop at Purmamarca was a…”

“Nuestra excursión fue nuevamente con la guía Angie, y la verdad ella es una excelente guía, y en jujuy Oscarcito un amor, se nota que ambos aman su tierra y lo que hacen. El vehículo muy bien y los choferes también. Lo único malo fue el poco tiempo que tuvimos en Humahuaca, se pierde mucho tiempo en el restaurante y no hay opción de ir a recorrer antes.”
