Fantastic Tour to Salinas Grandes
Anne_H, Jan 2023
This is a wonderful tour! Our guide, Raul, is a superb guide and driver. After being picked up at our hotel, Raul drove us through the most stunning scenery to the Salinas Salt Flats. On the way, we admired blooming cacti and other fauna up close, visited an old railroad station build by a British engineer, explored a small bur fascinating museum holding an amazing number of artifacts from the ruins of Tastil, and observed small herds of guanacos. Seeing the Salinas Grandes was an amazing experience. A vast landscape of pure white reminiscent of a frozen lake. The drive back was equally spectacular. We ascended to a height of 4020 meters above sea level with spectacular views of the Andean landscape before descending to the mountain town of Purmamaca which is located next to the Hill of Seven Colors. On the way back to Salta, Raul took us through the nearby rainforest. The tour was 12 hour long but definitely worth every minute!
The day was long but worth it...

The day was long but worth it! Seeing the salt flats was by far the highlight! Seeing the vast changes in scenery was amazing! The driver was very professional and did a really good job driving the very windy roads while our guide did a great job dealing with everyones personalities and always knew the answers to the many questions that came her way! One thing to know, take cash! The small towns we went to do not take credit cards. Argentine pesos only!!!
