Heart of the North: Salta & Jujuy

Salta and Jujuy sit in Argentina's north, a region of colonial towns, high desert gorges and salt flats that feels a world away from Buenos Aires. This 6 day trip is built around that landscape and the Andean culture that goes with it.

It's a private, self-guided itinerary, so you move at your own pace with your own vehicle or transfers rather than joining a fixed group. The route takes in colonial architecture, traditional villages and wine country, with the scenery doing most of the talking.

Because it's tailor-made, the plan can flex around your interests, budget and dates, including extra nights or add-ons like Mendoza's wineries or Patagonia if you want to extend the trip.
