Salinas Grandes Day Trip

Visit the incredible Salinas Grandes salt flat on this day trip from Salta and admire a magnificent "white desert" in the middle of the Andean plateau.

Salinas Grandes Day Trip

Between 7 am and 7:30 am we'll leave Salta and set off for the Quebrada del Toro. A short hike across its famous viaduct will provide views of this gorge in northern Argentina. We will also see the tracks of the Tren a Las Nubes, at over 4200 meters, one of the highest in the world.

Next, we will travel to the town of Santa Rosa de Tastil and stop in San Antonio de los Cobres for lunch. Afterward, we will continue to Salinas Grandes, the third largest salt flat in South America. Here, we will explore the stunning landscape characterized by sodium chloride, turquoise, and brown tones at 4,000 meters above sea level, a natural wonder of northern Argentina.

On the return trip, we will stop at Cuesta del Lipan hill and descend to Purmamarca to see the Cerro de los Siete Colores and visit the local craft fair, before arriving in Salta by around 7:30 pm.
