The buses are a disgrace. We were left stranded for 6 hours because the bus broke down twice during a trip. The guides are great. Very knowledgeable. Buses are a tragedy waiting to happen.

From the 3 days I love Cafayate the most. Unfortunately the places are far from Salta so the tours are way too long but the guides made it enjoyable. I would recommend my friends to skip Salinas Grandes, as the tour the place is nothing compared to the Salina in Uyuni. It is basically to take the picture in the pool and you need to do it in a hurry which I hated. Then, my purpose to go to Pumamarca was to visit the Quebrada of Humahuaca however that is not part of “excursion to all activities in the place”. they do not tell you in advance that you need to book this part in advanced so I was not able to see the main attraction of the place.
If you speak english, you will get half the informations compare to spanish. I understand spanish and believe me, what they say in spanish is much more complete than in english. 10 minutes explainations in spanish then 2 minutes in English. For the 3 trips we were 1 to 3 english speaking couples. All the informations are in spanish (pick up time by e-mail, conditions of sales...) I should have understood it seeing the whole web site in spanish only ... Guides are probably not qualified. The only guide I saw wearing a badge was from another company... Make the excursions with another company because the places were beautiful. I do not recommend this company.
Each of the three day trips had excellent guides (kudos to Pamela, my translator to Cafayate) who were full of information about the history and sights en route to and in the areas visited. Each day, we drove through spectacular scenery and saw how the people of Salta and Jujuy Provinces live and work from the winery in Cafayate, to the markets of Purmamarca and Humahuaca and to the salt flats at Salinas Grandes. These lives and lifestyles are not what one experiences if one visits Buenos Aires only. Each of these trips was about 12-13 hours long, but well worth the time and at an excellent price. Nordic Travel even picked me up at a downtown private residence, a fact I appreciated.
I booked the Cachi, Cafayate, and Salinas Grandes combo. The first excursion to Cachi was terrible; they sent us a destroyed bus with cracked windows, tires that were not in good condition, and internal parts of the bus tied together with zip ties and packing tape. Beyond this summary, the most serious thing was that half an hour after leaving for the Cachi destination, the driver realized that the bus did not have enough power to climb, so we were in a cafeteria for 2 hours until a mechanic checked and solved the problem. In the meantime, I wrote to the tourism agency and the response was shameful. After 2 hours, we continued with the excursion. We arrived in Cachi, toured it, and when we headed back, on the return trip we began to smell something burning. We had to stop at night in the middle of the mountain road (gravel); the driver and one of the passengers who knew about mechanics identified that what was burning was the brake lining, so we spent more than 1 hour waiting for it to cool down while they poured coolant on it. The return trip was very complicated since the driver had to return to the city of Salta driving only with the gearbox since he could not use the brakes, so all the passengers were at great risk. Evidently, those buses do not have any type of inspection; it is not possible for these 2 events to happen on the same day. On the other hand, I want to point out that the tires were totally bald; it is incredible that such a bus is allowed to circulate, exposing all passengers on those types of roads. The next day I did the excursion to Cafayate and they sent a slightly better bus. On the 3rd day, I was supposed to do the excursion to Salinas Grandes, and since I knew that the mountain road is very high, 4170 meters, for my safety and that of my partner, I did not take the excursion with Nordic Travel, since I consider that my life is worth much more than the cost of the excursion; I booked the excursion through another company and honestly it was the best decision I made.
Excellent experience: organization, transportation, everything! Very well organized and people who participate very suitable
We were promised to go to purmamarca mandara and tilcara... late they arrived only to tilcara...charisma to see nothing...the descent of the devil was two hours before arriving... I do not recommend them... they lie...
Excellent everything! Excellent guides. Angie, Fabian and Raul Super prudent and responsible drivers Guille and Javier. Very punctual. Organized departures.
It's a 3/5 service. Practice to hire the combos if you need to solve your schedule in Salta. However, it is not luxury. Although they do. Starting with hiring, they publish “no hidden prices” at x value. Then according to the time they modify it. The transfer to and from the airport by JUAN is excellent. Very good driver. The excursion made to Cafayate with ANGIE gives flavor to little. Going to cafayate is to the rocket. The “red earth” winery is one of the worst I’ve ever seen, including the owner’s batterer. I also highlight the energy of the guide. How it was “high season” in addition to charging you more, they send you in a large bus with 45 people who do very little personalized the excursion added that if you go behind the microphone is the worst experience of your life. They just sent two retirees in the back seats where they didn’t see or hear anything, the answer was “send a message to the company.” The excursion to large salt flats and Purmamarca with Raul is longer. I highlight the beauty of the village. Raul is a strange character who defines himself as a flirting machine, good person, but the content of his guide is not the best. I highlight Mauritius' work as a driver, a complicated route.
The experience was very good, they complied with everything agreed and the service was excellent. The guides were very friendly and constantly attentive to anything we needed. Recommended!
The truth is that the company has an absolute 10. The attention, the punctuality, the treatment of all the kids, both the guides Jazmín and Pablo, as well as the administrative part, confirming the itineraries with sufficient advance notice. Totally recommended. You can't regret it.
You have to keep in mind that you get up at 5 am and return to the hotel after 6 pm, on all excursions because the tours are far away. The guides are very good, bilingual, prepared with a lot of information, good predisposition, I mention Jaz and Matias, excellent. The company did not pick us up at the hotel, so we had to go to the meeting point at dawn, which caused a lot of inconvenience and is not stipulated when hiring. The departure from Salinas Grandes was disastrous, the bus broke when going up to the salt flat at more than 3000 meters above sea level, which had already left with problems, the driver told us that the bus had already broken down the day before, they repaired it quickly and he returned to go out with us. We waited 2 hours on the side of the road for other buses to pass with a place that would allow us to continue the climb to the salt flat at 4 thousand meters, then to return to Salta we had to wait hours, they left us at the hotel at 9: 30 pm, having gotten up at 5 am. Would I hire them again? Definitely not. I would choose private tours that take less time, fewer unnecessary stops and are more dynamic.
We did the excursion to Cafayate and its ravines with the guide Angie and then the excursion to Salinas Grandes with the guide Ximena. In both cases they were beautiful experiences, both the guides and the drivers showed a lot of professionalism and made us have great moments. Nordic is recommended for all this and for punctuality, prior coordination and attention.
My experience was great!!! Very happy Super organized and above all friendly Chauffeurs a ten on the routes I want to recognize ANGIE! That is a crack as a Tourist Guide, knows everything, explains in a very didactic way is creative and I was lucky to go with her twice to meet part of this beautiful Province! I'll be back soon Thank you so much!!
Enterprise North Platform ; spectacular Service ; special guides; friendly; respectful; helpful; impeccable vehicles and the best price
Unmissable Purmamarca and nearby villages, Salinas Grandes. Cachi and Cafayate, a classic. Serious and reliable Enterprise. If you want to make Hornocal, order before taking out any package because it is not exclusive, it is added to another.
This trip to Salta and Jujuy is unforgettable. The quality of the proposal and the professionalism of its staff are of high quality in the first contact ROCIO I facilitate EVERYTHING always friendly and willing to solve the details , especially The Guides JAZMIN AND ANGIE and the drivers MAURITIUS AND JOSE . This human team is highly recommended
The great scenery. Stops for lunch were not good and very expensive. Some guides knew English others nothing.
We did 3 excursions (to cafayate, humahuaca and Salinas Grandes) two with the guide Martin and the other with Raul, which I would like to highlight not only for its advice, stories but because faced with a problem with some passengers Raul knew how to handle the situation excellently. The vehicles in good condition and with air conditioning. If I had anything to suggest it would be that forty-five minutes in the salt flats (added to there being a queue for the bathroom) is a short time and one is left wanting more! It is certainly something we regret. Thank you Nordic Travel again choose and recommend!!
I bought this package for TAKEOFF. The first excursion was to Cafayate, very good, the driver and his guide Angi OK. We were not picked up by the Hotel as the post said, we had to walk 3 blocks at 6 am, despite being 2 blocks from the square. On the return I received different cell phones, 3 whatsapp indicating where I should board the microphone for the excursion the next day; in one they sent me behind the Cathedral, in another 3 blocks from the Hotel, and in another 11.50 pm, they would pass through the Hotel. I called and they told me....they will pass through the Hotel between 5.40 and 6.10 am. It happened at 6.20 after I called them claiming. This excursion was to Purmamarca and Humahuaca. It included Tilcara but they suspended it because they said there were a lot of people for Carnival. The guide LUIS, EXCELLENT!! The next day, the third excursion, we were picked up by the Hotel at 6.55 am, the trip was to the Salinas. Horrific journey, almost reaching its destination, the "micrito" broke the air hose that feeds among other things, the brakes. And there we were, at 4300 meters high, without oxygen, in heat and mood, from 11.30 to 2.40 pm, when we were divided into combis of other Companies and one of them to return to Humahuaca without visiting the salt flats. The worst thing is that the day before this micron had stayed on another excursion, apparently not going into reverse. I mean, he went out again without even having a checkup. Thanks to the help of a truck driver together with the drivers they tried to solve the problem by starting the brake hose. I HIGHLIGHT THE WORK OF THE DRIVERS. NORDIC has 3 microns truchos for ledge roads, winding and hard, NO RADIO OR HANDYS TO COMMUNICATE. The other companies have better micros, combis brand MERCEDEZ BENZ, IVECCO, RENAULT, among others. NOBODY TOOK OVER, of course, they send me an email offering to take us to the Airport for $4500 x 3 people, while a taxi is $1400. THEY HAVE NO SHAME. DEAR TRAVELERS, TAKE A GOOD LOOK BEFORE YOU HIRE EXCURSIONS, ESPECIALLY ON DANGEROUS ROADS. NORDIC IS NOT WHAT HE WAS BEFORE!!!
We did the excursions to Cafayate, Salinas Grandes and Quebrada de Humahuaca. Excellent three!! Guides Jazmin, Lucas and Ximena geniuses! With clear explanations, tips and recommendations to enjoy each experience. Very good service! We'll be back!!!
We did the excursions to cafayate, large salt flats and cachi. Three different and unforgettable experiences at once. I want to highlight the professionalism of the guides, Jazmin, Lucas and Luis. Always predisposed, friendly, giving suggestions and tips for upcoming excursions. Special mention for Luis!! Funny, funny, while always guiding us making some joke that drew a laugh!! I will recommend them to every person who wants to jump
Suverene way to experience unique nature experiences in northern Argentina. Our guides spoke good English and were incredibly cute. Especially Xemina.😊 Good way also to meet other tourists and locals. Really cool experience. But also exhausting after three long days of long bus trips and early departures. Definitely recommended!
Thanks to Xime, Angie and Lucas who were our guides for the 3 days! They provided excellent Service, from their knowledge and explanation in every place we stopped to recommendations in case we felt bad, always attentive to everyone.
Enterprise is highly recommended!! I went with a friend and we bought this 3-day package. They send you a message the day before to let you know what time they pick you up from the hotel or where you have to go in case transport is the largest group, and they are super punctual. The guides are very friendly and I like that everyone tells stories according to their experiences and does not have an armed script. Overall everyone in the Enterprise is very friendly!
The first excursion was a city tour of Salta. They didn’t make us get off at the main square because it was closed to traffic, so we didn’t visit the square, the Salta Cathedral, the Church of San Francisco. The guide told only popular stories and gossip. I had no historical preparation. Poor city tour. Regarding the excursion to Cachi we were waiting from 6.45 am. At 7.21 am we were told that the transport was broken and at 11.52 am we were told that it was not done. We went to Enterprise. We were rescheduled for the field trip. In the afternoon we were not notified of it. Back to the Enterprise. Conclusion: an unpleasant day. There is no supervisor responsible. Lack of organization. I wouldn't hire this Tourism Enterprise again.
Excellent! We went to Cafayate, Humahuaca and Salinas. The guides to 10. Especially Matías and Lucas, they know a lot about history, they took care of us (recommendations x the theme of height and health) and always attentive. They sent us wapp the day before to be ready at the time they indicated. Very punctual. Go north!! Beautiful culture
All perfect. Before arriving in Salta they communicated to confirm the days of the excursions as every previous day to advise the schedules. The drivers are excellent and the guides have a lot of information about the places toured, especially Martin who looks like an encyclopedia.
The best experience was the.bus trip to Cafayate with Angie as guide. It made the trip very entertaining and informative. We came back with a lot of interesting information about each of the places visited and with historical information about the General. Geems I didn't know. Super recommended!
My experience was too bad, too bad, too disastrous. Don’t hire this Enterprise, it will give you a hard time, feeling helpless and competing with the landscape. Look for another option to get around Salta and Jujuy, you can rent a car, move in remis, take a bus or intercity or hire another of the many serious companies to do these walks. I read in awe the good experiences, I have as a witness all the contingents with whom we went to Purmamarca, Salinas, Humahuaca, a disaster .. keep in mind that security is something important, one of the trips came to jump at 1:00 in the morning having left at 6:00 in the morning of the previous day with the same driver, I do not understand how the CNRT does nothing, as it does not review these very serious faults. Obviously I will not entrust my vacation to these people again, I hope you serve this opinion to change your option.
If you are reading this review it is to know if it is convenient to invest your money and mood of your vacation in this Enterprise, the answer is a strong NO, it does not deserve that trust, it is a transport of unscrupulous, irresponsible, punctual people, except, obviously there are exceptions an employee who is a guide, if only one who always answered HIS phone (Ariel) and helped me in what I needed, but if it were for the phones of the Enterprise, they do not attend or attend you after 3 hours of waiting for an answer. If you are looking to have a good time do not hire this Enterprise, I have three days of odyssey to count on WhatsApp witness and recorded calls where they do not know directly where we are or where we are headed on that excursion. There are many ways to explore these beautiful provinces, Salta and Jujuy, look for one that convinces you and that suits you.
En el día de ayer 27/07/2022, mi esposa y yo iniciamos una travesía con "el subcontratista" de Nordic que se hacía llamar Raúl o Raulo. Decimos "subcontratista" pues este personaje por cierto un tanto manipulador y agresivo, manejó la excursión a su gusto e interés económico, lejos del interés del turista y de la propuesta de la agencia NORDIC . Tan cierto fue esto que en el medio de la travesía nos impuso "amablemente" un "nuevo paquete" por un módico precio de $ 600,00 por cada persona, incluida la entrada en su oferta (que ya estaba paga e incluida en el paquete) para entrar a las salinas y dirigirse también a los Ojos de Mar ingresando con el bus ( conducta prohibida por la empresa) y así permanecer ahí por más de hora y media con claro riesgo de apunamiento del pasaje (de hecho mi esposa se apunó y el delincuente no se enteró pues en ese momento estaba durmiendo su siestita). Obviamente todo esto no estaba en el paquete contratado. La excursión consistía en otra cosa. Pero lo peor fue como decía arriba, su conducta extorsiva pues en el medio del trayecto efectuó su oferta de redireccionamiento de la excursión, es decir, incumplimiento del contrato, por medio de un precio que él fijó en $ 600,00 por pasaje, sometiéndolo a la votación del grupo que desde luego supo manipular de diversas formas. Una de ellas manifestando que quien no aceptara se quedaba en la entrada de Las Salinas y de esta manera debía esperar a que terminara el nuevo trip creado por él. Otra ya en forma de conducta un tanto jocosa manifestaba que quien no aceptara la oferta iba a ser dejado en el camino o al costado del camino. Otra y esta fue la más violenta porque al someter a votación su "propuesta" no sólo no dejó que el grupo intercambiara ideas sin su participación sino que obligó a levantar las manos a aquellos que no aceptaran su oferta. Como podrán imaginarse bajo presión y violencia es decir, INTIMIDACION decidimos entregarle, sin ningún tipo de comentario, el dinero a los fines de que no nos dejara a la puerta de Las Salinas pues ya de por sí el clima y la altura atentan contra cualquiera que se exponga a estas condiciones , ello sumado a que no queríamos tener el pasaje en contra, con mala onda y sobre todo el temor a las represalias que pudiera tomar este delincuente en ese momento. Por último, se imaginarán a esta altura del relato que Raulo de guía no tenía nada en la medida en que nada explicó acerca de los paisajes, de las zonas geográficas, no hizo paradas en ningún lugar a los fines de aprovisionamiento y demás conductas que se esperan de un regular guía y trip. Su único interés fue lograr juntar una platita para él violando el contrato y toda normativa, con claro desprecio por el turista y por su tierra que más allá de sus conductas deleznables es maravillosa. Salta no de debe ver empañada por este tipo de personajes
We did Humahuaca, Salinas, Cachi, trekking x San Lorenzo and City tour. Also through Nordic we made cable car and High Mountain Museum. We were picked up and taken from the airport. Super recommended. All very well organized. Special thanks to Martin, Geremias and Ezekiel for being our guides. The 3 super pros. And Cami at the agency who was always very attentive to our schedule and reservations. The guides really gave us a lot of information. Geniuses!! We have a great memory of Salta.
Hire the package of 3 full-day excursions: Cafayate, Salinas Grandes and Humahuaca. In all they respected the coordinated days for each , the pick up / drop off times for the accommodation and the reception at the airport on arrival. Angie and Claudio are the best tour guides, both stylish but providing plenty of cultural information and very predisposed to consultations. Drivers Juan, Guille and Manuel impeccable in charge of transport. Very nice visits all, highly recommended for a first visit to the NOA
We had a more than pleasant experience with the Enterprise. They were very punctual, organized, responsible and respectful of their promises. The excursions are very well armed and deserve a separate chapter the guides of each of them. For us we went twice Lorena (which accompanied us to Salinas grandes and Cachi), which is a GENIA! and on the excursion to Cafayate we were accompanied by Angie, who moved us to tears with her passion for her province, her traditions and her great gaucho hero, General Güemes. I recommend everyone to contact Nordic if they want to know Salta and surrounding areas, they are very serious and responsible, as well as putting all the waves on the WONDERFUL but very extensive excursions. Thank you so much x everything! I hope to see you again! Carolina, Tigre, Buenos Aires.
I really liked the 3 excursions I did (Humahuaca, Cachi and Cafayate). All with a different charm. The drivers that touched me Antonio and Sebastian very correct and prudent. Angie (the guide), a genius all the information she provides and you rating she likes what she does.
Nordic respects no time, commitment or word. If a passenger trusts their services, they may never come looking for them.
Excellent Service Provided x Nordic, Unforgettable moments. We made three excursions. With varied routes. From south of Salta to north of Jujuy. Oh, great. Fully recommended.Thank you!!
Way to Cafayate a show! Lovely cachi!! Cuesta del Ovispo, Parque del Cardón, Tintin route very very nice. A guide, Elda, total genius. Ama Jumps and her work. The NORDIC Enterprise, punctual, responsible, from the Airport Welcoming, excursions and farewell. It is a Recommended Enterprise. Thank you!!
Book web tours, and it went as expected. Excellent Nordic Service! The day before, you will be notified by whatsapp which excursion you have and what time they will search by hotel. Micros in very good condition and shofers 10 points. The guides who played me very professional, friendly and passionate about what they do. Always attentive to any concerns. I did city tour with Lorraine, Salinas with Martin, Cafayate with Jeremy and Humahuaca with Hornocal with Daniel. All excellent! Congratulations to Daniel for his personalized attention! He's a genius and with a very good sense of humor. Like he woke us all up in the morning, saying we are going to San Antonio de los coppers 😁😁😁 and we had Humahuaca!!! I add more time in Humahuaca for the people who visited Hornocal, otherwise we had to choose to snack or meet this beautiful town. Thanks to Nordic, who made my holiday unforgettable!
Of the 3 excursions I did only one xq my son got sick. Despite advising them the guide sSilvestre came to the hotel to offer his help. It was very comforting. And they did their best for our transfer back to jump. The excursion we did was salt flats. BEAUTIFUL. And super-predisposed guide Martin.
We did three excursions with them. Two in minibuses respecting the distance, there were few and we were comfortable. Cafayate's outing was in a big, packed mic. It was protocol with the windows open. All excursions leave early, between 6.15, 6.30 and 7.30. In all cases around 10 am they make a technical stop where e can buy something for breakfast, use of the bathroom etc and in some there are handicrafts at a good price. Excursions are long and return around 18/19. We recommended you to bring coca candies for the way and acclimatization to the height. And fried snack potatoes for descent, for altitude sickness. The guides always attentive, correct and Very well organized. There were no delays at the venues. In all cases they suggest a place to eat lunch, but it is not mandatory to do so there. And they give you free time and suggestion to travel in those two hours off. Drivers are also very correct in handling. Someone a little reluctant to use his chin correctly at the time of the break, when two drivers go. Before entering the bus after each descent, you are given alcohol. Clean and airy minibuses. Along the way, they place a nylon bag on each seat to use in case any passenger becomes dizzy and breaks down. They even stop the bus only if necessary for medical assistance. Perfect excursions and organization. They are handled by WhatsApp the day before they send you the schedule in which they will pick you up at the hotel and the excursion they will make, since we had bought 3 and we did not know in what order or in what times they would be. Very well organized everything. Excellent Punctuality and Service
Highly recommended, advisors very well prepared to evacuate queries and give suggestions. The staff from the airport to the very friendly and always pending excursions of its passengers and to provide the activities that we contract. Very nice experience in general
Hire a combo of 3 days of excursions, the wonderful places, but the first two days the trip became tedious, largely for the responsibility of the guides, the first day we were touched by Martin, who spent the whole trip trying to convince us of the virtues of the coca leaf, when we arrived in Salinas (the big attraction of the day) we only had 20 (twenty) minutes to tour and enjoy, all controlled by clock and being very strict. Worst of all happened the next day with the guide Daniel, already from early showed his bad character with the passengers, making us believe (at the end of boarding all the travelers) that the destination was a 3 hs trackking trip, when we warned him that the destination was another he replied "clear to complain if they talk and are upset", we should explain to this young man that this is not how we treat clients that thanks to we hire these trips he has the opportunity to work. After this fact, we set out on a journey, and there he began to make comments in a "Nazionalist" tone something that went very wrong among the passengers, as these sayings and his "way" of seeing things would have to be done in his intimate sense. To cap all this when arriving at tilcara it began to rain heavily and practically forced passengers to end the excursion as "I had talked to the Enterprise and it could not be canceled". Obviously many passengers did not make that section of the excursion staying in the restaurant. It is a shame that they put such a phenomenon (however prepared it may be) before a contingent.
Fair price, guides (Martin, Nicolas and Soledad) are super dear and professional. The itinerary of the excursions are great. Comfortable buses. Great choice 👏👏
I went with my husband and my 5-year-old daughter. The 3 three are done on consecutive days. We already had it reserved for something else one day and luckily. You leave at about 6.30 a.m. and return at 7.30 p.m. It's a little tiresome to go with kids this young. Enterprise was Nordic Travel and we did not have a good experience, I do not recommend it. One-sided communication was by whassap, Enterprise read and did not reply to messages. They asked you to give 72 hours notice of the change of day of an excursion. And they changed us the evening before an excursion and also only with a whassap message, when we consulted more they did not respond. The excursion, given the fixed times, leave you very little in the places, for example in the Salinas we were only 40 minutes. Of the 3 excursions, Salina, Humahuaca and Cafayate. In the latter the guide explained all the way and reviewed everything, a pleasure with her, the rest were a bit basic. I recommend to know the places of Jujuy: Salinas and Humahuaca, base in that province.
Excellent excursions, really beautiful landscapes. We were able to discover the Salta area for 4 days. We were very well received by the agency, well organized excursions, drivers at the top. The guides were excellent: special mention for Guillermo who was our guide for Humahuaca and Cafayate, he introduced us to these 2 places thanks to his advanced knowledge of the history and local geography. He also translated all the explanations into English only for us who are French and gave us valuable advice and addresses in Salta. Only downside of our experience: on our last day in Cachi we had a guide who did not satisfy us, giving a lot of unhelpful information, making the tour less hectic. Of course I recommend! Very convenient to visit when you don't have a car.
Service of 10. From the hotel. Staff in excursions and general attention. A good experience. Beautiful landscapes
We use Nordic to perform the 3 excursion combo. All 3 were good experiences in general, with their particularities. The vehicles all in good condition and clean. The first was to Salinas with Jeremy (driver Marcelo). While the guide is foreign he gave it great vibes and was very informative about everything we were seeing. The tour passes through Volcano, Purmamarca, viewpoint of the Lipan slope and the Landmark of 4170 MSNM to reach Salinas. On the way back we stayed in Purmamarca to have lunch and tour the village. We even did some trekking around the surrounding hills. Of the excursions to Jujuy was the one we liked the most. The second was Humahuaca and I must say it was llaarrgguiiissiiimmmmaaaa. The guide was Carolina (chauffeur Ariel). I consider it was partly stretched by the visit to Purmamarca where we stayed for almost an hour. This place is on another tour, so it could be taken out. While the guide tried to make it more enjoyable, we delayed almost 4 hours from the stipulated return. The tour includes the Palette of Painter, Pucará de Tilcara, passing through the landmark of the Tropic of Capricorn, the Pollera de la Colla, the visit to the church of Los Angeles Arcabuceros to finish in Humahuaca where we have lunch. On the way back we stayed for a clay pot factory. Perhaps because of the tiredness of the trip, it was the excursion that we liked the least. The third was Cafayate with the guide Raul (driver Manuel). The guide quite "reserved", although when sharing information was interesting. After a technical stop in La Viña you continue along the route visiting the Devil's Throat, Las 3 Cruces (I loved it) and incredible scenery. Before arriving in the village you stop at Tierra Colorada Winery where you can taste its wines and you can buy some. Already in Cafayate there are approximately 2 hours for lunch and tour that fly by. On the way back you can appreciate the Castles and stop at the Amphitheater. On this excursion we understood that Salta is called "the pretty one". We would definitely recommend Nordic to other people.
We hired my mom and I a package of 3 tours along with one way from the airport to the hotel and vice versa. Upon arrival at the airport they came for us and we went to the agency to pay for the total excursions, so far, all good. First excursion: CACHI, a beautiful trip! The guide Cesar, UNBEATABLE, an excellent person, with many stories of the place and an incredible disposition, only a small detail, who when Cesar arrives tells us that we had not settled the cost of the tours, explains that we had already paid and tells us that he will communicate with the agency, matter resolved. Second field trip, the drop that goes over the glass. CAFAYATE, with Jorge’s PESIMO guide, arriving tells us that we had not paid, I explain that if we pay, it is supposed to mark the agency and everything is fine, for my part I sent a whatsapp to the agency and I resolve it with them. The whole trip was spent with misplaced comments, making several uncomfortable. At the end of the tour he talks to me and tells me to show him the payment voucher, I tell him that I don’t have to show him, because I already worked it out with the agency and he tells me that I will have to pay again, and that they would split the money. But the worst was in the end, we arrived at the main square, my mom, a lady of the elderly and me, carrying 2 boxes of wines, our backpacks full, with jackets because with the weather of Salta you do not know, and me without battery to know where we were. He tried to get us down there, saying our accommodation was a block away. I ask him: a block? Sure? I was sure it wasn't a block, and we were well loaded. The guy answers us in a bad way: if they don’t want to walk a block then no! We are outraged by her attitude, and the girl who was next to us and replies that she realizes that we are foreigners, that we are not even from there. He replies that he wouldn't leave us lying there. My mom gets upset and tells him to drop us off where he picked us up. They already left us and I walked to the agency, I counted the streets, it was 2 for the square, and 3 if it was from the other corner. At the agency, they behaved very well with me, which I appreciate, but you need to know that if you have that guide, a very tedious tour awaits. Third excursion, HUMAHUACA, with the Dart guide, It is an impressive tour, the best of the 3, highly recommended, and with the excellent guide will have a great time! He was always on hand to help in whatever it took. In the end, on the way back to the airport, there was a small road problem, and they solved it by always communicating with us. I'd hire NORDIC TRAVEL again on the condition that I never get touched by that nasty person from Jorge again.
