Incredible excursion to Salinas Grandes and Purmamarca - The tour was amazing. Our guide Alfredo was very friendly and throughout the trip gave us very interesting information about the places we saw, history, customs, etc. The road, the stops and the destinations, both Salinas Grandes and Purmamarca is certainly something not to miss. Loved it. It exceeded our expectations!

Meek experience! - It is important to wear a coat, sunglasses and cap (the weather along the promenade is very eclectic). Also candy or something light to chop. The journey is long and one ends tired, but it is very worth it

Salinas Grandes is Grandes and the road to get there is also Grandes ! Excellent. - We did the Salinas Grandes tour in november and it was great ! Of course the landscape is breathtaking with multi-coloured mountains and the Salinas Grandes are... Grandes indeed ! Quite impressive. Our guide/driver was Fabio and he was also Grandes. He is full of energy, friendly, speaks very good English and very knowledgeable about the area, its history and current developments. I highly recommend this tour !

A day through the Andes. - Really beautiful and spectacular day for the beauty of the places visited. Hotel pickup with very comfortable and new van. Our guide was very good and competent, giving precise and interesting information about the places we had to visit, also excellent knowledge of English (5 stars for Ximena). Also very good driver Mario, careful and cautious (also excellent his music playlist). The weather was perfect. A very special day. Max and Mara

Salinas and Purmamarca Tour - The van showed up on time. Cesar, the tour guide was very courteous and had a good command of English language. Alfred, the bus driver too was very professional, making sure everyone onboard was comfortable during our 12 hours ride.

Please be careful about altitude sickness - There was a lot if wind from Purmamarca to Salinas Grandes, abd it was risky so to get there, but the guide wanted to bring us there anyway. It was also not well specified in the activity description here on Viator that getting Salinas Grandes means reach more than 4100 meters above sea level, and this can cause some altitude sickness. The guide didn’t assist too much in this sense, only repeating to get some coca leaves (which are not scientifically proved to have sone effect), and not giving any advice on what to eat to prevent altitude sickness. Moreover the trip by minivan was not too comfortable for a long journey like this. Not very recommended in our opinion.
