Salinas Grandes And Cafayate Promo With Transfers

Your journey through Northern Argentina begins with a transfer from Salta International Airport to your centrally located hotel, allowing you to start your stay comfortably and enjoy a hassle-free arrival.

During your trip, 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, followed by an unforgettable tour to Cafayate and the Quebrada de las Conchas.

Your first adventure begins early in the morning with departure from your hotel in Salta. The route takes you into the province of Jujuy, crossing part of the Quebrada de Humahuaca and passing traditional towns such as Yala and Volcán before reaching Purmamarca, one of the region’s most picturesque destinations.

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

From there, the journey continues toward the Lipán Pass, a spectacular mountain road that reaches approximately 4,170 meters above sea level. Along the way, you will stop at scenic viewpoints to appreciate the 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, admiring the scenery, and capturing unforgettable photos.

After visiting the salt flats, you will return to Purmamarca, where you will have free time for lunch and further exploration before beginning the journey back to Salta. The excursion concludes in the afternoon at your centrally located hotel.

Your second excursion takes you to Cafayate, crossing the Lerma Valley and passing through traditional villages such as Cerrillos, El Carril, Coronel Moldes, and Alemania. Along the route, you will see cultivated fields, mountain scenery, and small towns that preserve part of the region’s historical heritage.

The tour continues through the spectacular Quebrada de las Conchas (Shells Gorge), where centuries of wind and water erosion have shaped some of the most iconic geological formations in the Calchaquí Valleys. Stops along the way allow you to explore and photograph remarkable 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 particularly renowned for its high-altitude wines. Here, you will visit a local winery to learn more about the area’s winemaking process and enjoy a tasting, including the opportunity to sample the celebrated Torrontés.

Following the winery visit, you will begin the return journey 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 perspective of its spectacular landscapes.

To complete your experience, the package also includes a transfer from your centrally located hotel in Salta to the Airport, making your travel arrangements convenient from start to finish.

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.
