8-Day Private Salta Tour: Cafayate, Salinas Grandes & Humahuaca
Visit Argentina’s northwest your way on one of our private Salta tours. This 8-day journey departs daily, so you choose your dates, and it is never shared with strangers. You travel with your own driver and local guide, stopping wherever the scenery calls you. Instead of packing every morning, you stay five nights in colonial Salta, with single overnights in Cafayate and Purmamarca, all in hand-picked 5-star hotels. Taste high-altitude Malbec and Torrontés over lunch at a Cafayate winery, cross the cactus forests of Los Cardones to Cachi, walk the Salinas Grandes salt flats and explore the UNESCO-listed Quebrada de Humahuaca. A country day at Finca Lesser adds horseback riding, wine tasting and live folk music, and optional extras like a sunrise balloon flight let you tailor it further. Airport meet-and-assist, private transfers, entrance fees, and round-the-clock local support are all included, so the only thing left to plan is when you’d like to start.

- Welcome to Salta, the colonial heart of Argentina’s northwest and the starting point of your private Salta tour! Our local team will meet you at the airport and take you by private vehicle to your 5-star hotel. The rest of the day is free to settle in and rest before the adventure begins.
- Overnight in Salta.
- Optional (not included): Salta Walking City Tour. Explore Salta on foot with a local guide through its cobbled streets, colonial churches and lively plazas, and get a first taste of Andean traditions.

- After breakfast, we head south through the Lerma Valley and into the spectacular Quebrada de las Conchas—83 kilometres of rock formations sculpted by wind and water over millennia, including the Amphitheater, the Devil's Throat, the Obelisk, and the Tres Cruces viewpoint. As the first vineyards appear, we stop at a winery for a tasting of Salta's famous Torrontés and Malbec, followed by lunch.
- Check in and spend the afternoon discovering Cafayate at your own pace.
