“The tour was good overall. The combi van that collected us was very small, and hard to fit the legs into the available space (even for average height people). But it had good air conditioning. The guide did a reasonable job - they provide some info along the way although more explanation and info would have been nice. Tour returned into Salta at approx 20:45.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 140 reviews · 13 hours · from $37

Review of Salta’s full-day Humahuaca tour, with Purmamarca, Hill of Seven Colors, artisan markets, guides, costs, and practical tips.

“This was a great trip to see some small towns and villages that you otherwise would find it hard to visit (without a car!). The description is slightly wrong as you do not visit Cachi, but do instead go to Humahuaca, Tilcara, and Purmamarca which are all great. There’s also a scenic stop at the Hill of 7 Colours which is magnificent. The tour group were a mix of Spanish speakers and English speakers. The guide spoke exceptional English, but I would say it was hard to hear him (he was also the driver and speaking into a mic on a headset but the volume could not go any higher)…”

Review of Salta’s full-day trip to Purmamarca and Salinas Grandes, with mountain roads, altitude advice, costs, guides, and practical tips.

“We had booked a tour in English, but upon pickup, it became clear that the tour was going to be conducted entirely in Spanish, and we did not understand any of the information given by the guide during the day. The tour company did not communicate the itinerary or any information about the tour prior to the day. They also provided conflicting information about the pickup time, with one message saying 6:30 and another saying between 7 and 7:45. We were ultimately picked up just after 7, but with poor communication about when the driver was arriving. This tour also involved far more driving time than was advertised, with almost…”

By the way, everything was great, the walk, although tiring by the distance, is li do, very well worth it.Auto-translated”

Review of the 12-hour Quebrada de Humahuaca tour from Salta, with Purmamarca, Tilcara, Humahuaca, scenic stops, value, and practical tips.

“This tour booked by me from Canada through Viator that was operated by Tangol tours out of Salta was terrible. Our guide only spoke Spanish which meant we had no way of understanding any relevant information provided to the wholly Spanish speaking tourists with whom we were joined up. The restaurant that we were herded into in Humahmarca was horrible. The food was terrible and I was served uncooked chicken. Lunch was not included in the tour price and we had to pay for the horrible meal. We would have done better finding our own restaurant of which there were many. Our tour returned to Salta 2 and 1/2 hours…”
