Day 1 - Arrival @ Salta & Tour Arround The City

Location: Salta

Accommodation Name: 4* hotel

Welcome to Salta, La linda!

Upon arrival, we will transfer you to your hotel and in the afternoon, we will show you arround this beautiful city. This Half day Tour in the city of Salta and its surroundings is ideal if you visit us for the first time. In four hours you will be able to appreciate some of our history and architectural patrimony. You will visit, among others, the heart of the city where the main square, Salta Cathedral and Cabildo tells a little bit of our past. Churchs as San Francisco and San Bernardo convent are considered architectural jewels as historic monuments like General Güemes, our famous soldier.

San Bernardo hill is perfect to appreciate the city from another perspective as San Lorenzo Village and its charm. By the end of the tour you will visit The Artisan Market (old flour mill), an important concentration of typical handicraft of the province.

Afterwards, we will head back to the city and get a nice rest at your 4* hotel.

Day 2 - Falling In Love With Cachi

Location: Cachi

Accommodation Name: 4* hotel

We depart from Salta city along the Escoipe Gorge up to the breathtaking Cuesta del Obispo (Bishop's Slope) with a stop in Piedra del Molino (The Millstone, 3384 masl) the highest point of the trip, and go on across Los Cardones National Park through Tin Tin Straight path traced by natives at 3000 masl. This route evidences the same perfection as if it had been built using hi-tech tools. We will be able to appreciate the magnificence of the highest mountain in the Calchaquies Valley Cachi Snow-capped Mountain (Nevado de Cachi), which is among the 40 highest mountain in Argentina of over 6000 masl. After we reach Payogasta we will continue descending to encounter the magical town of Cachi. Traditional and staid, this village is typical for its colonial-type constructions, old houses lying on the very edge of narrow and cobbled street. Its church dates to the 18th Century and stands out for its floor, ceiling and furniture made of cactus wood and its adobe walls. Cachi has a well-recognized Anthropological Museum where the history of indigenous civilizations is exhibited in 5000 pieces unraveling a 10000-year-old story.

Afterwards, we will head back to the city and get a nice rest at your 4* hotel.

Day 3 - Tour To The Clouds - Salinas Grandes Through San Antonio De Los Cobres

Location: Salta

Accommodation Name: 4* hotel

Driving across Quebrada del Toro (Toro Gorge), we will reach Santa Rosa de Tastil, a vast archeological site at 3000 masl, in the heart of this gorge. Along this route, after getting the second highest point at 4.080 masl in Abra Blanca, we will reach a great plain which is a prelude to San Antonio de los Cobres: a town asleep in the solitude of the heights, the desert and the Puna. After lunch time we will take the ex-Route 40 for around 90 km northbound and we will finally arrive to a huge salt flat, Salinas Grandes (Jujuy). No urbanization exists and people who work on the salt mines have to spend the night in precarious shelters or travel to the closest villages on a daily basis. We we´ll have free time to explore and taking some pictures. Afterwards, we will ascend up to 4,170 masl in Abra de Potrerillos and descend again along the Cuesta de Lipan until we finally arrive in Purmamarca, a small town at the foot of the Seven Colour Hill. We will continue our journey back to Salta, concluding this fascinating and colorful excursion.

Afterwards, we will head back to the city and get a nice rest at your 4* hotel.
