Discover Salta, Cafayate, Purmamarca, and the Quebrada de Humahuaca on this 8-day trip to Argentina through the landscapes, wine, and gaucho life of the north.
Discover the colors of Northern Argentina on one of our most rewarding trips to Argentina. This 8-day journey starts in Salta, Argentina, and follows the red canyons of the Quebrada de las Conchas to Cafayate, where you’ll taste Malbec and Torrontés at a local winery over lunch. Drive the Cuesta del Obispo through Los Cardones National Park to the colonial village of Cachi, then head north to Purmamarca and its famous Hill of Seven Colors. Cross the high Puna to the white Salinas Grandes salt flats and explore the UNESCO-listed Quebrada de Humahuaca, visiting Tilcara, Uquía, and Humahuaca. Your trip ends with a true gaucho day at Finca Lesser: horseback riding, a three-course regional lunch with wine, and a live folk music show. With handpicked hotels, private transfers, expert local guides, and support throughout, this Salta Argentina tour shows you the north slowly and in full color. Daily breakfast is included, departures run every day, and prices start from US$1,500 per person.
