They picked up us at our hostel and they brought us home at the end of the day. Definitely worth for the money!”

“Eduardo was an amazing guide! He was so passionate and shared a lot about the history and geography of Quebrada de las Conchas and Cafayate. He was also really great with providing the tour in Spanish and English. I feel like a lot of tour guides leave out information when they translate in English and this wasn't the case with Eduardo. The energy was great and the views were amazing. This was my favourite out of all the tours I did from Salta.”

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.”

We were really unlucky with the weather on our trip but our guide Arturo did everything he could to juggle the activities around and give us extra time, which meant that we could wait for the clouds to break and see the 14 colour hills after all. I felt like they really cared about making sure we enjoyed the day. Credit to the driver Vinicio as well - it was a long day of driving but we were well looked after.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 118 reviews · 11 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $42

Travel from Salta to Purmamarca, Cuesta de Lipán, and Salinas Grandes in an air-conditioned vehicle. Expect an 11 to 12-hour day, mountain roads, a peak above 4,100 meters, free time for photos and lunch, and a group of up to 23 people. English support can vary, so confirm it before booking.

“Terrible experience with poor transportation: no seat belts, cracked taped up window, stained seats and deficient suspension system. This tour is sold as an English tour - it isn’t - it’s a Spanish tour with a guide that has very limited English (by his own admission) who “translated” the important part in impossible to understand language. We paid the same price as the Spanish speaking guests on this tour yet received a much inferior service. It is a 13 hours day - made way to long by a 2 hour stop (read 2 hour shopping stop around the small central square). 1 hour would have been enough. Would absolutely not…”
