What it's about

It's a long day: departure is at 8:00 in the morning from Humahuaca and the route takes up most of the day, with several stops along the way. You travel in a 4x4 pickup that holds 4 to 6 people at most.

The centerpiece is Salinas Grandes: the circuit is done only with local guides and about 2 hours are spent exploring the place.

On the way back you walk around the little town of Purmamarca and make one last stop at the Painter's Palette (Paleta del Pintor), in Maimará. That stop is planned for the return because, with the sun in the west, the Painter's Palette gets good sunlight.

To book we need the full name and the ID or passport number of each passenger, and a 50% deposit.
