Between 7 am and 7:30 am we will depart from Salta towards the Quebrada del Toro. A short hike across its famous viaduct will provide views of this gorge in northern Argentina. We will observe the tracks of the Tren a Las Nubes at over 4200 metres, among the world's highest.
Next, we will continue to the town of Santa Rosa de Tastil and make a stop in San Antonio de los Cobres for lunch. Post-lunch, we will pass through other villages until reaching the Salinas Grandes, the third largest salt flat in South America, exploring its stunning landscape at 4,000 metres above sea level.
On the return journey, we will stop at Cuesta del Lipan hill and descend to Purmamarca to view the famous Cerro de los Siete Colores. After exploring the area and visiting the local craft fair, we will return to Salta, arriving around 7:30 pm.
