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.

Great attention, we had to re schedule twice our transfer to and from the airport due to airline's issues and they were quick to give a solution. Martin and Omar are great guides, very knowledgaeble and funny. From now onwards Nordic is my way to discover the north.

You have the VIDEO in attachment. My back is BROCKEN. - 3h of dirty road with a transport not adapted - salinas are ugly and full of tourists (uyuni 1000x better) - you really are in jail like a group of sheeps. 1mn here, 5mn here, ... 4170m is like a "WOW" and you take the photo of a stone saying it.. Avoid it by all means. If i could i would have spent money before to skip the end of this tour.
