10 Bus Tours in Salta That You Shouldn't Miss

September 4, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

Vibrant Salta is a mashup of old world architecture and modern fun—a truly sophisticated bohemia! Marvel at the intricate façade of the old town hall—a Salta focal point—as you stroll from museums to markets. Savor the vintages at local wineries or take a train to a tiny village that's perched "at the top of the clouds." Thrill seekers will love the adventure sports and archaeological explorations that await at nearby Cabra Corral Dam.

I Do not recommend this company I did a pre-planned day trip of Argentina. It was arranged they pick me up from nearby hotel. I msg to confirm and they changed the plans and I had to meet there which wasn’t Easy to find. I attempted many times to contact them via the phone numbers they provided and concierge also attempted, but they never responded. Then I only got half the tour. Try other more reliable and reputable companies.

It is all very nice but the best is Pumamarca. Spare a couple of days to stay there and explore and enjoy that amaizing place. El Tren de la Nubes was a deception. Very good organization but they don’t have a policy to return the money to somebody who gave a 3 days in advance cancelation. You will not enter the clouds, it’s just a name and crossing a 150 feet bridge is ........

We, my husband an I, did a private tour of 7 days with Facundo Zambrano to explore the Salta region, driving almost 2200 km. 138 reviews and all excellent (!) and this review is going to add to that ???? Traveling with Facundo has been a real pleasure. The nature with all its different landscapes, the remoteness, silence and absence of people are overwhelming and a unique, out of this world, experience. Facundo is all that you may hope for when you decide to travel for 7 days in a car with someone you don't know. He is a real pro, very passionate and knowledgeable about the region and the native people, a storyteller, a musician, wine lover, father and husband. And most importantly, he is just a very nice and pleasant guy to be with. The Salta region has touched our souls and it has spoiled s for ever.
