Northern of Argentina: Salta & Jujuy

Start & end in Salta 6 days Up to 10

About this trip

Six days through Salta and Jujuy, covering the Lerma Valley, the high puna and the Quebrada de Humahuaca before looping back to where you started.

This is a self-guided, private trip, so you move at your own pace with your own transport and space, rather than following a group leader.

Expect a mix of colonial cities, high-altitude desert and the layered, multicultural history of the Quebrada.

What you'll do

  • Explore Salta city, your starting and finishing point
  • Visit Cafayate in the Lerma Valley
  • Cross the high-altitude puna region
  • Travel through Quebrada de Humahuaca
  • See where different cultures and landscapes have historically met and mixed
Good to know
  • Self-guided and private, so it suits those who prefer independence over a fixed group schedule
  • Rated easy, with no strenuous activity involved
  • Route returns to Salta, the city where it begins
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want stunning northwest landscapes with reliable guides and solid accommodation. Think twice if you need flawless logistical precision—pickup times can slip.

  • Guides are genuinely fun and generous with photo stops; landscapes are legitimately beautiful.
  • Local operator gave wrong pickup times twice; communication glitches happened despite good intentions.
  • Hotels well-located with proper breakfasts; customer service team (Eve, Mercedes) solves problems actively.
  • Family-friendly trip that handles accommodation and tour logistics comprehensively end-to-end.
