★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 80 reviews · 12 hours · from $29Best value

Review of Salta to Cafayate: Quebrada de las Conchas rock formations, winery visit, wine tasting, transport, value, and practical tips.

“So we started really late and didn’t get any message when we are going to be picked up. They where at our place half an hour late and we were one of the first to get picked up. At the whinery the woman couldn’t speak any English so the tour was only in Spanish, wich is useless when you book a Englisch tour. The tour is really rushed just for 2h in Cafayate wich isn’t really that great. The landscape is amazing but that’s about it.”

Explore Salta’s Humahuaca Gorge, Hornocal’s 14 colors, Purmamarca, Tilcara, and practical tips for this 13-hour mountain tour.

“The tour we scheduled was not the tour we took. This company changed our tour at the very last minute. There is conflict in the region and there are only a few guides who speak English. Unfortunately they handled this very unprofessionally and told us at the last minute. Plus they repeatedly changed the details which was very frustrating. The tour we ended up taking was only OK. The guide appeared knowledgeable especially if you spoke Spanish.”

6.Day Trip to Quebrada de Humahuaca

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 48 reviews · 13h 30m · from $39

Review the $39 Quebrada de Humahuaca day trip from Salta, with Purmamarca, Tilcara, Uquía, scenic stops, costs, and practical advice.

“After reading the reviews this tour was mostly as expected. A lot of time in a crammed bus, but you do get to see some beautiful landscape. There is too much time planned for shopping at touristic stops, and too little time to explore the rock formations and nature that we all went on the tour four (nobody is interested in the ceramic workshop, let's face it). I went on another tour with a different provider (Tiamar) towards Cafayate the next day, and it was so so much better (smaller group, more personalised, much more time out in nature and less time on the bus). Wouldn't book again with this…”

7.Serranías de Hornocal with Quebrada de Humahuaca

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 44 reviews · 10 hours · from $63

Review of the Jujuy Hornocal and Humahuaca tour, with stops at Purmamarca, Tilcara, Uquía, Maimará, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“The trip itself was okay, however i would not recommend this agency. They sent us a message at 8pm that due to carnival the tour would start at 6am instead of 9:30am. We couldn’t cancel anymore because the deadline was over and then we had to get up really early even though we got to jujuy really late at night. The next morning the time we should get picked up got pushed later like four times. And then we waited an hour to be picked up - in the end it was 9:15. Overall very poorly communicated by the agency. For the tour itself you need to be prepared to…”

Review of Salta’s 12-hour Humahuaca Gorge tour, with Purmamarca, Tilcara, Uquía, colorful hills, guide details, price, and practical tips.

“Fabio our guide promised us the best day of our lives... and it actually was our favourite tour ever - and I'm a tour guide myself! Such a beautiful itinerary in the Jujuy province, and Fabio's warm personality, stories, information, jokes and surprise stops and treats made it all the more special. The tour and conversations were very well-translated by Fabio so English and Spanish speakers were all included! Bus was comfortable too. Thank you so much Fabio, it really was a pleasure to be part of your group :) From Maria (AUS) & Tomas (ARG).”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 41 reviews · from $106

See Cafayate wineries, Humahuaca villages, Cerro de Siete Colores, and Salinas Grandes on a value-packed 3-day tour from Salta.

“We did 3 trips, so it was a lot of time in the van. The second two were in the same direction so there was some repetition, which we knew. We didn't realise however that there was an optional tour to the 14 colour hill as noone from the agency had mentioned it, despite us going in every day. This was a little disappointing. All the guides were good, but we loved Monica”

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 35 reviews · 10 hours · from $37

Review the Quebrada de Humahuaca tour from Jujuy, with Purmamarca, Tilcara, Humahuaca, Uquía, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Non fate questo tour che non comprende Hornocal, la montagna dai 14 colori, è la cosa più bella da fare alla Quebrada de Humahuaca. La nostra guida non non è stata sincera con noi dicendoci che comunque anche se gli altri andavano a vedere la montagna e noi no, non ci saremmo perse nulla. Alla fine abbiamo lasciato il tour per vedere la montagna e ne è assolutamente valsa la pena. Guida poco entusiasta di mostrarci i meravigliosi paesaggi del posto, Autista simpatico… Sarebbe stata gradita un po’ più di onestà, dato che siamo venuti apposta per vedere questi posti. In più, la gestione del tempo non è buona, ci…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 9 reviews · 8h 30m · from $37

See Purmamarca, Tilcara, Uquía, the Tropic of Cancer, and UNESCO-listed Quebrada de Humahuaca on a full-day trip from Jujuy.

“Nous avions acheté une excursion bilingue Anglais - Espagnol. Nous avons été averti le soir d'avant qu'elle serait unilingue espagnol. Nous avons accepté l'excursion quand même car il n'y avait pas d'alternative. Le guide unilingue espagnol ne semblait pas savoir comment s'y prendre avec une personne qui ne parle pas couramment espagnol. Il répondait en parlant trop rapidement quand on s'adressait à lui, et il "noyait" ses réponses dans beaucoup trop d'information non pertinentes. Par exemple, si je demande: à quelle heure dois-je retourner à la bus: je n'ai pas besoin qu'on me récite le programme entier de la journée.... car avec mon espagnol de débutant, difficile d'extraire tout ce…”

14.Humahuaca & Salinas Grandes 2-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 8 reviews · from $78

Review of a two-day Salta tour to Humahuaca, Purmamarca, Tilcara, Pucará, and Salinas Grandes, with practical tips and value advice.

“The first day was great because of the places we visited, the guide and the organization, but the second day did not meet our expectations. We were left to explore the Pucará archaeological site alone without explanations inside and we did not have time to visit Tilcara. In Huamahuaca we could not visit the church and we stopped for a moment just to photograph the painter's palette. I would only do the first day. The second is not worth it. And thank goodness we stayed overnight in Purmamarca on our own, because going back 3 hours to Salta to sleep to undo the 157 kms the next day makes no…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 5 reviews · 12 hours · from $49

Review of Salta’s 12-hour Humahuaca Valley tour, with colorful towns, Andean culture, lunch tips, transport details, and honest value advice.

“We booked the day beforehand. Answered all the forms etc. Got our vouchers. Waited at 7am outside our apartment for an hour and nobody turned up. I rang the emergency number and the office number, nobody answered. Sent an email saying nobody picked us up and they said the booking hadn't been confirmed. We had paid in full, filled out the forms, it was 24 hours until our tour, what was left to confirm. Why couldn't they have rang us or emailed us if they needed something else confirmed. Ridiculous! We only had one day in Salta to do a tour and this was ruined! Waiting for my money to…”
