Salinas Grandes And Cafayate Promo With Transfers

Your Northern Argentina experience begins with a transfer from Salta International Airport to your centrally located hotel, allowing you to start your trip comfortably and without worrying about arrival arrangements.

During your stay, you will discover some of the most iconic landscapes in northern Argentina on two full-day excursions: a visit to the spectacular Salinas Grandes and Purmamarca, and a journey to Cafayate and the Quebrada de las Conchas.

Your first adventure starts early in the morning with pickup at your hotel in Salta. The route leads to the province of Jujuy, crossing part of the Quebrada de Humahuaca and passing through traditional towns such as Yala and Volcán, before arriving in Purmamarca, one of the most picturesque villages in the region.

In Purmamarca, you will admire the famous Hill of 7 Colors, a striking natural formation that characterizes the area. You will also have time to explore the town’s charming streets, traditional architecture, and local craft market.

From there, the journey continues toward the Lipán Pass, a spectacular mountain road reaching approximately 4,170 meters above sea level. Along the way, you will stop at scenic viewpoints to appreciate the vast Puna landscape and take memorable photographs.

The main destination is Salinas Grandes, one of the most visited salt flats in Northern Argentina. Located at approximately 3,400 meters above sea level, its immense white expanse creates a unique setting for walking, enjoying the scenery, and capturing unforgettable photographs.

After visiting the salt flats, you will return to Purmamarca, where you will have free time for lunch and to continue discovering the town before starting the journey back to Salta. The excursion ends in the afternoon at your centrally located hotel.

Your second excursion takes you to Cafayate, crossing the scenic Lerma Valley and traditional villages including Cerrillos, El Carril, Coronel Moldes, and Alemania. Along the route, you will see cultivated fields, mountain scenery, and small towns that preserve an important part of the region’s history and identity.

The journey continues through the spectacular Quebrada de las Conchas (Shells Gorge), where wind and water erosion have shaped some of the most impressive geological formations in the Calchaquí Valleys. During the excursion, you will stop to explore and photograph emblematic sites such as La Garganta del Diablo (The Devil’s Throat), El Anfiteatro (The Amphitheater), La Yesera (The Gypsum Quarry), El Sapo (The Toad), El Obelisco (The Obelisk), and Los Castillos (The Castles).

Next, you will arrive in Cafayate, one of Northern Argentina’s leading wine-producing regions and a destination especially renowned for its high-altitude wines. Here, you will visit a local winery to learn about the region’s winemaking tradition and enjoy a tasting, including the opportunity to sample the renowned Torrontés wine.

Following the winery visit, you will return to the city of Salta along the same route. The afternoon light changes the colors and shapes of the Quebrada de las Conchas, revealing a different and equally captivating perspective of its landscapes.

To complete your journey, the package includes a transfer from your centrally located hotel in Salta to the Airport, making your travel arrangements convenient from arrival to departure.

This is an ideal way to discover the Puna, high-altitude landscapes, Andean villages, the natural formations of the Calchaquí Valleys, and the winemaking tradition of Cafayate in a single trip, combining the nature, culture, and flavors of Northern Argentina.
