This was a fantastic trip! The Salinas were incredible, but Purmamarca and it's surrounding mountains is absolutely breathtaking. Do the pase Colorado. Our guide was Fernando who was the absolute best! He is fluent in English and French and he's funny and makes sure everyone is having a good time. Try to get him as your guide! FANTASTIC experience.

Wonderful! Very cool experience to visit the Salt Flats and unlike anything we have done before. The town of Purmamarca is very small - our guide had a great recommendation Kuntur (sp?) for lunch. As a heads up, it is a very long drive both directions - definitely takes the entire day. Would recommend the tour to anyone visiting the area.

The guide was very professional. He picked us up in front of our hotel. Very available, he even made the effort to speak to us in French. Back with music from the 80s in the mini-bus Thank you again

Ótima organização, guia (sra Maru) excelente e nos informou muito bem sobre a região e costumes. Transporte seguro e em ótimo estado. Valeu cada minuto.

A unique experience that you should definitely take with you when you are in the region!
