We took this tour with Rodrigo guiding us in late February just before the coronavirus shut down travel. Having the personal attention of a private tour was great and Rodrigo quickly gauged our interests and modified the tour to meet our interests as we went. We were fortunate being in the region during Carnivale celebrations and to be able to experience the thrill and chaos of the occasion. There were many highlights of an action packed few days but the Hornocal, Salinas Grandes and San Salvador de Jujuy stand out. Rodrigo’s knowledge of the history and culture and personal contacts were excellent and really added to our enjoyment. We can highly recommend this trip and Poncho Tours service from the booking process, airport pickup and arrangements generally were exemplary.

In December 2019 my wife and I, along with two friends, were treated to an an amazing three day trip around northern Salta Province followed by a more extended six day trip to the south of the province. I say treated because we were in the extraordinarily capable hands of Five Senses Salta. We were taken to a number of fascinating villages where we shopped and dined and also listened to some wonderful ethnic music. We traversed some of the most amazing and varied landscapes - multi coloured rocky valleys, vast open desert plains of cactus and blasted twisted rock formations, ancient native settlements, lush vineyards and river valleys and at one point a seemingly endless salt plain. The hotels we stayed in were top class - a delight to arrive at and we were always sad to leave - but the road beckoned. We travelled in two separate cars which were very comfortable. Given the often demanding road conditions, our drivers were more than up to the task and as guides were full of interesting and relevant information. The trip was part of a more extended visit to South America, including Lima and Machu Picchu in Peru. This part of the trip was also organised via Five Senses contacts based in Lima. We definitely enjoyed the trip of a lifetime with Five Senses. It was easy to communicate with Gareth and his team, who always responded quickly to any questions and tailored the trip to meet our needs in every respect. Airport and hotel pick ups were efficient, cars and drivers of the highest quality and rest days built in to our itinerary. Can’t recommend Salta Province and Five Senses highly enough. Thanks to all.

We did a 12 day customized trip in 2018. Found this company through Zicasso, Kieran was great arranging it all and communication was easy. Our trip started in Buenos Aires where we did a cooking class at the Argentine Experience and took a tango lesson. Our dance instructors took us out to a milongo afterwards and we ended up staying out until 2am. It was great! We felt completely immersed in the culture. We then flew to Iguazu and toured the jungle, got blasted by the falls in a boat ride and saw all the incredible creatures that live there. Our last 5 days were spent hiking in Patagonia where we trekked the Perito Moreno Glacier, visited a ranch, and then drove to El Chalten for the final days. All of our transportation was provided, all internal flights booked by Kieran, and everything was just wonderful. To this day, it’s one of my favorite vacations!
