Discover the stunning contrasts of sleepy colonial towns, age-old villages, and jaw-dropping desert gorges. Marvel at vast salt flats and rainbow-hued mountains that seem painted by nature itself.

Follow the legendary Train to the Clouds for sweeping views, sample world-class wines at exclusive vineyards, and savor each northern province’s unique take on empanadas. Along the way, admire unusual, sculpted rock formations and learn about the diverse communities that thrive in this rugged landscape.

The key USP here is the harmonious blend of natural scenery and rich cultural traditions, all experienced at an easy pace. Ideal for travelers seeking a laid-back yet immersive introduction to Argentina’s north, this tour is a feast for the senses and the soul.

day 1Welcome to Northern Argentina

Welcome to Salta!
Upon arrival in Salta you will be transferred to your hotel.
Salta has it all: the geographical diversity (green, red and brown mountains) and the historical richness. Do not forget that, in these lands, one day they fought for the independence of Argentina! It also has exquisite and well-preserved colonial architecture, picturesque and very crowded cafes in the main square (a great place to sit and watch the locals in their daily hustle and bustle!), and the characteristic and fun peñas, places where Salteños sit and listen to their local folklore idols, and then end up dancing (after one or two encouraging glasses of wine) together.
The perfect base to explore the Argentinian Northern area is Salta city
Keep in mind that religion is very important here: religiously speaking, people take a siesta in Salta... so between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. it will be more difficult for you to find the places open, so take advantage of it to take your first northern siesta!
