I think it’s important to know what you are getting yourself into when you book this tour. This tour is 4 consecutive days, 12-13 hour days starting at 7 am and finishing between 7-8.30 pm. From our experience, it was not possible to take days off between the excursions as advertised and communication via WhatsApp with the company was virtually non existent. They did not response to messages and in our view were unprofessional. The tour office was also not opened as advertised on Google or their front door. The guides and drivers were friendly from our experience, and it was nice to see the landscape and villages in and around Salta and Jujuy but there is some overlap on the tour and less impressive stops with some hanging around. Not all excursions are also included in the 4 day pass and in our experience we suggest booking 1-2 day tours from salta which is more than sufficient.

We did the 4 excursion pack and it was amazing, all the destinations beautiful and great service. Special thanks to Fabio, best tourist guide ever!
They are not able to organize, changed tours, no excuse and bossy. If you are not satisfied they cancel the day before, because they know, that you cannot book somewhere else. 45 min. Time slot for Pick up in minibus, never saw a 45 min time slot in whole Latin America. I would rather recommend booking not a package, only one day with various tour operators, but defiantly not with them
The 4 excursions are respected and interesting, but you should know that they are not necessarily done in order (day 1 will not necessarily be the first excursion). Otherwise, the buses are very punctual and adapt to our places of residence.
Excellent excursion, we toured everything with time to enjoy each place. The drivers are amazing (fabio we take you in the heart)
Great service and great value for money. Minibuses pick up at hotels and drop you off, drivers and guides are professional and friendly; several stops along the way plus a long lunch stop. I took the complete package of four excursions that give an idea of the Puna around Salta, but you can book each of the excursions separately
Beautiful excursions, very good service, very professional and attentive guides and drivers of the units that transferred us.
I made the pack of 4 excursions with North Stop, excellent attention and service. The guides and drivers a luxury, all very attentive and friendly. I recommend this company They take you everywhere. Hornocal, Tilcara, Purmamarca, Salinas Grandes, Cafayate, Cachi and many more! And the prices are re-accessible.
I went with my kids. We had a great time, we learned a lot, we met beautiful places. There were no problems with the schedules, we were searched for the four days at the hotel. The guides are great, everyone puts their mark on it. The heart of my children was won by Fabio, super dedicated and warm. Everyone puts their hearts in it. Thank you very much.
We bought a package of four excursions and one day they forgot to come and pick us up at the hotel. I tried several times to call them while waiting for the search but they didn’t answer me and when they did it was too late and we were only proposed to do a city tour of Salta so we lost a day. We got the money back, but I would have preferred to take the planned tour.
4 unforgettable days between Humahuaca, Cachi, Cafayate, Purmamarca and Salinas Grandes. The North of Argentina offers unique emotions, breathtaking and always different landscapes, wild and authentic, it seems to be on another planet. Very well organized tour, very good and prepared guides and drivers, with strategic stops to take photos and recharge the batteries. Martìn and Victor very nice and engaging, have explained so much and in detail the history, geology, culture and traditions of these places. Also all excellent in recommending typical foods to taste. Do not miss the tortillas rellenas, typical of this area, which they make everywhere on the street. Thanks again for the welcome and attention with which it was handled everything!
Toda equpe de La Quebrada Turismo está de parabéns. Os passeios foram todos muito agradáveis. Recomendo.
We're a group of 11... We have 5 children so sometimes the walks can be long, and tiresome. Actually, with the guides who played us... We had a geeeeenial time. Honestly, it is not easy to manage large groups, but we are fascinated, by your help, by your knowledge, your explanations, your kindness, punctuality... Amazing experience. Thanks also to Sebastian who guided us in the purchase of the excursions and always willing to answer our doubts. A wonderful experience. Thank you 🫂❤️
Fantástico. Unos guías atentos y maravillosos que nos contaron mil cosas de cada lugar. Puntuales y con gran experiencia. Visitamos lugares espectaculares. Aunque los viajes son largos, merece muchísimo la pena solo por los impresionante paisajes que vas recorriendo. Recomiendo 100% esta agencia y sus excursiones.
La empresa la quebrada es excelente. Cumplió con itinerario y horarios a la perfección. Los guías Ernesto y Raul informan sobre cultura historia y geología. Muchas gracias por todo
Coordinamos una experiencia por 4 días, donde al final fueron 3, nos cancelaron la excursión a Salinas Grandes (sabiendo que estaban arreglando el puente hace meses). Las excursiones fueron horas eternas de viajes, las Van muy chicas con ventanas cerradas y sin aire, lamentablemente como éramos las últimas en subir nos quedaban siempre malos lugares, visitas cortas y rápidas (dónde te retaban si te demorabas, como si estuviéramos en el colegio), visitas a lugares de compras, el día 2 a Cachi nos tocó un guía bastante mal educado. La verdad las cosas lindas del viaje fueron pq Salta y Jujuy son hermosos, pero por el valor de las excusaciones muy mal servicio.
