Salta, Cafayate wine, Seven Colours Hill, and Andean salt flats — Visit Argentina's northwest in 8 days, Book Now!
Visit Argentina’s northwest your way on one of our private Salta tours. This 8-day journey departs daily, so you choose your dates, and it is never shared with strangers. You travel with your own driver and local guide, stopping wherever the scenery calls you. Instead of packing every morning, you stay five nights in colonial Salta, with single overnights in Cafayate and Purmamarca, all in hand-picked 5-star hotels. Taste high-altitude Malbec and Torrontés over lunch at a Cafayate winery, cross the cactus forests of Los Cardones to Cachi, walk the Salinas Grandes salt flats and explore the UNESCO-listed Quebrada de Humahuaca. A country day at Finca Lesser adds horseback riding, wine tasting and live folk music, and optional extras like a sunrise balloon flight let you tailor it further. Airport meet-and-assist, private transfers, entrance fees, and round-the-clock local support are all included, so the only thing left to plan is when you’d like to start.
