Highlights
A wide ranging private, tailor-made tour of the best landscape and culture the far north of Argentina has to offer.
We’ll explore the multi-colored Quebrada de Humahuaca, famous for its Seven Colored Hill and rich in history from Pre-Inca to colonial times.
The intrepid among you may also want to brave the high altitude 14 Coloured Hill of Hornocal, at 14,248 ft (4,344m) above sea level.
We will stroll around the historic town of Humahuaca, much more indigenous in feel than cosmopolitan Salta, and also visit Jujuy's capital city, San Salvador.
Then we’ll cross the outer mountain range of the Andes into the Altiplano and the wide open plains of the Salinas Grandes salt flats, with their stunning view of the mountains.
