Argentina · SALINAS GRANDES & PURMAMARCA TOURS
The road out of Salta climbs past 4,000 metres before it drops onto the salt, so altitude matters more than distance here. These 15 compare the stops, the time on the pan and the Hill of Seven Colours, priced and timed.

Review of Salta’s full-day trip to Purmamarca and Salinas Grandes, with route details, altitude advice, guide notes, costs, and practical tips.
“it’s was a good experience. Salinas Grandes and Pumamarca really worth a visit. The tour runs without any issues. The time that we spent in Salinas was quite good, enough to know the place and take fun pics. But the experience in Purmamarca definitely was a down point. The plan was stay there for 2h and the practice was 1h30, that wasn’t enough to eat and get around the city (that is small). In addition, the guide strongly recommended us a restaurant (Peña Marito) which has a very slow service and lack of options. We ordered a portion of baked potato with cheese that spent almost 40min to be delivered.…”

“Fabricio was an excellent guide and we are so glad we did this on our first morning in Purnamarca because he explained so much about the geology and flora and fauna and we were able to really appreciate the region on the following days. He was very good at accommodating our hiking pace and I highly recommend him! Preston Read and family”

“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).”

“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”
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…”
