Overview
Two-day excursions through Salta and Jujuy. Tour to the wine-growing center of the province, touring the Quebrada de las Conchas and separating the Lerma Valley from the Calchaquí Valley. Wind erosion has formed a succession of natural whims such as the Devil's Throat, a deep and closed canyon, or, El Anfiteatro,El Fraile, El Obelisco, Los Castillos.
Little by little the aridity of the landscape is replaced by large expanses of vineyards until you reach one of the most notable regions within the Calchaquí Valleys: Cafayate, a town of one-story houses between colonial and baroque from the late 19th century.
The Salinas Grandes excursion from Salta will allow you to discover the most interesting places. Marvel at the Cerro de los Siete Colores, pose for photos in the striking white salt flats of Salinas Grandes, and shop for souvenirs at the famous Purmamarca crafts market. Let yourself be surprised by natural wonders. Look for colorful crafts at the Purmamarca market on this excursion.
