The view of the landscape... - The view of the landscape and the opportunity to see Tilcara, Purmamarca and Humahuaca. My guide did a great job in English

Long tour with a friendly driver - The guide (the driver) was very nice and spoke english very well. He was open for additional questions and gladly answerd them. We were picked up at the arranged hour. The trip is quite long and includes lots of driving due to large distances. The places we visited were Purmamarca (45 min), Tilcara (30 min) and Humahuaca (2 hours) with some smaller stops for sightseeing in between.

What an amazing tour. The views were nothing short of spectacular. - We couldn't believe how wonderful the sites were. I just couldn't stop snapping pictures. And the place that we stopped for lunch was a really great meal. The stop to see where the archaeological site was really great to see. Our tour guide, Carolina was very knowledgeable. And she spent as much time explaining everything in English as well as Spanish. This was a very worthwhile trip.

Good day trip - This day trip covers all of the main sites that the other tours do. We are picked up just after 7am and travel for about 90 minutes before we make a quick stop to get snacks/coffee and visit a well stocked ATM at a gas station, (which was quite a relief as we had trouble getting money in Salta the night before). Back on the bus we continue until we reach our first major stop, Purmamarka. We're given 45 minutes to explore the town, which really isn't much time at all. It's a really pretty town with cobblestone streets and lovely architecture and of course the painted hills. You can wander up Florida street until you get to a small hill that you can climb to get a great view of the painted mountains and the town itself for a minmal fee. We wander around the market in the main square that seems to be there every day for tourists looking for a souvenir. Our next major stop is to Pukara De Tilkara a pre-incan fortification, where we're given 60 minutes to explore the ruins, we run out of time, then quick photo stop at the Tropic of Capricorn, before our lunch stop at Humahuaca. We're given over two hours at Humahuaca where most people opt to go for the buffet lunch and judging by the number of people queued to enter it's the main attraction. We opt to go somewhere else, whilst we're very happy we did there's not a whole lot to do in Humahuaca so we found we had way too much time there, we would have preferred to spend it elsewhere. Most of the group were ready and waiting for the bus to arrive 15 minutes before the expected departure time. We then get back on the bus where we only stop for a quick picture at Maimara and a snack/drink stop. The bus itself was very spacious and comfortable. Prior to our stops our guide would give us details about where were stopping and what we should see/do which suited us. Throughout the day we were given lots of commentary regarding where we travelling and it was consistently done in several languages It's a long day, left at 7am and arrived back in Salta at 7.30pm, could have cut 60 minutes from lunch in Humahuaca and spent the time elsewhere but when I did my research the tours all seemed to cover the same territory.

Great way to see the scenery - This tour was a great way to get out of the city and see the amazing surrounding landscape. The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. I wish we could have had more time to explore but obviously that's not possible when you have a group tour. Purmamarca was my favorite place, but we only had 40 minutes there. The Incan ruins were also great to visit. Would definitely recommend it but know that you will have a long day in a bus and might not get as much time at each place as you would like. The views out the windows are incredible though!
