Amazing scenery and landscape. The guides were full of knowledge and information and made the trip more interesting and memorable. Not rushed and lots of stops to for toilet breaks and a stretch.

Each day is long with lots of driving but you see amazing scenery along the way. The two days that were led by Tiamar were well paced and had great guides. Unfortunately without any notice or explanation, on the third day I was placed in a tour operated by a different company, Parada Norte. This guide was not as good and didn’t really put an emphasis on keeping the group on time at the various stops. Overall I would still definitely recommend this tour.
The tours are good, but it also depends of your tour guide, if its good you will have an amazing experience, but if it's a but of a don't care too much, then not much
It was a challenge to do 3 days of these tours because you will be in a tour bus all day. I would suggest breaking them up because they are very tiring. And don't eat at the suggested places for lunch. Find another place that is cheaper and it'll be better. Our favorite day was to Cachi.
I did the three excursions over three consecutive days: Cafayate, Cachi and Salinas. First off, all three involve a lot of driving, and long days. Our guide for the Cafayate excursion said we would be diving 400 km that day, so if this is not your thing..... We arrived back in Salta around 6:00 PM Day 1, 5:30 PM Day 2, and 7:00 PM Day 3. These times might vary depending upon traffic conditions, and whether guests want to make an additional technical stop for bathroom use or to buy water/snacks. The excursions are in nice passenger vans, which can hold 16-23 passengers depending upon the size. Each is air conditioned, and the seats are comfortable, with an overhead shelf for the storage of small backpacks and bags. Some people brought relatively big backpacks with them. Not needed! Smaller is better! All three excursions are good. If I had to pick between them, it would be a hard choice. If you've been to Uyuni, then you might find Salinas Grande a lesser comparison. All three days had fascinating scenery, interesting rock and mountain formations, and opportunities to see wildlife. The guides were uniformly excellent, and spoke both Spanish and English. My only complaint was on the Cafayate excursion, and the winery tour. We arrived just in time to participate in a tour of the facility by a winery staff member. The only problem is that many tours converged at the same time, so there were 60-70 people doing the winery tour at the same time. I found it be too congested with people, particularly when they were jockeying to get their free wine samples. Also, the tour was only given in Spanish, so for those of us who only spoke English, we could not understand, and it was 20 minutes of boredom.
Great agency and well organised three days. MUST DO if you are in Salta. If you have to pick one only, I'd go with the Salinas. The other two are also amazing though.
We loved this guided excursion experience - from the accessible option in English to learning so much about the local history, Indigenous culture, trying local food & wine, and experience the beautiful landscapes within Salta! Fernando, our guide to Salinas Grandes was particularly exceptional with his enthusiasm and level of knowledge!
We recently embarked on three excursions to Cafayate, Cachi, and Salinas Grandes, and each tour offered a unique and astonishingly different experience. The diverse scenery from day to day left us in awe. Our guides were exceptional, caring, funny and attentive, ensuring that everything went smoothly and that we had everything we needed to enjoy our days. As English speakers, we were delighted that all our guides spoke perfect English, which made the excursions even more enjoyable. We highly recommend these tours to anyone visiting Salta. Since the excursions are full-day adventures, we suggest giving yourself some time before and after to rest and adjust in Salta. Additionally, don't underestimate the impact of altitude. Be sure to stay hydrated and consider bringing coca lollies or other remedies to help you acclimate to the high altitudes you'll encounter. Five 🌟 tours !!
I absolutely loved this package . The guides were very good . Monica was a favorite:) So many historical facts were explained and this particular company were pros in the timing of reaching highlights just before otter tour buses were coming in . I was thrilled w the Salinas and 7 color mountains were gorgeous. I never felt rushed . Highly recommend.
Well organized tours. punctual pick up time. knowlegable, extremly helpful, friendly, English speaking tour guides. Unforgetable and breath taking views !!!!!! Would highly recmmomend.
Just got back from the Cafayate, Cachi, and Salinas tour with De Tiamar Travel. Despite some unforeseen circumstances, it turned out to be an experience I'd readily recommend. Due to roadblocks and protests in Jujuy, we unfortunately couldn't visit Salinas as planned. De Tiamar Travel, however, promptly offered us the option to reschedule or receive a refund. I won't deny, getting the refund processed was somewhat tedious and complicated by the exchange rate. But they handled it efficiently, and we got our refund via TripAdvisor without any issues. Pushing that aside, the rest of the trip was fantastic. The first two days spent in Cafayate and Cachi were a visual feast. We journeyed through spectacular landscapes in comfortable buses and everything was well-organized. Our guide in Cafayate, Federico (hope I got the name right), was terrific. His enthusiasm and knowledge made the tour even more enjoyable. All in all, despite missing Salinas, I'd still recommend this tour. De Tiamar Travel showed professionalism and the experience in Cafayate and Cachi was truly memorable. If you're looking to explore the scenic beauty of Argentina and fortunate enough to get Federico as your guide, you're in for a remarkable journey.
Excellent tour! I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Salta. All three days were incredibly memorable…I was able to see so much in such a small amount of time. Also good for solo travelers as I was able to meet some really great people :)
Excellent service. Very well-prepared and willing guides. Very good adherence to schedules. To improve: establish the start times of excursions with more advance notice and with more precise pickup margins.
The experiences were excellently selected. The time at each stop followed a rather demanding itinerary, so perhaps it gave the feeling that "we walked to the runs". In any case, the guides’ recommendations applied to paying attention to key points so as not to miss anything in the short time we had. I recommend doing this tour with rest days in between, we did the 3 runs and ended up exhausted, there really is much to discover! My only observation is regarding coordination as we had to be behind to be confirmed when we were picked up (even waking up much earlier because of doubts, missing hours of rest), but we didn’t know when the van was at the door. On the last day if he didn’t contact me, they wouldn’t come looking for us because they had noted that I was going to headquarter to leave from there. Outside of it, they were 3 beautiful days full of nice memories.
Adoramos! Vale muitíssimo a pena! Imaginávamos que teriam paisagens ou momentos repetitivos, em 3 dias seguidos de roteiro, mas cada um traz pontos de vista e atrações bem diferentes entre si, com montanhas, cactos, muitas paradas ótimas para fotos. Os destaques foram Salinas e Purmamarca, que lugares incríveis! Até Cachi, uma cidade bem pequena, nos surpreendeu pela boa comida e por ter uma arquitetura tão simples e bonita. Gostamos também da vinícola e de conhecer a cidade de Cafayate. Enfim, três passeios que recomendamos muito e que rendem experiências e fotos magníficas.
Todo excelente. Guías, choferes todo muy bien. Cumplieron con los horarios establecidos y búsqueda al hotel genial.
Parfait pour voir beaucoup de choses en peu de temps! Journées longues mais guides et chauffeur très sympa
Las excursiones muy lindas, y lugares impresionantes. La guia de la primer excursion 10/10/24 a Salinas Grandes fue muy poco profesional. Por momentos muy infaltil, haciendonos preguntas y obligandonos a responder. Los guias Belen y Martin, geniales y muy amables. La agencia se viaje que nos toco solo se comunico con nosotros para confirmar la reserva. Nos enterabamos donde ibamos cuando subimos al transporte. Llame y envie mensajes y nunca contrataron. No recomiendo esa agencia.
You will be picked up at the door or at the same block. Guide spoke English and told the story clearly. Enough stop points to enjoy the view. You don't have to mention food yourself, because you stop around lunch at villages where there are plenty of opportunities to eat. We did think there would be more walking, but this is totally not so. You sit in a van all the way and have small stops and a long stop for lunch, where you can then take a walk if you want.
Excelente propuesta para ver a fondo el noroeste argentino, servicio super puntual de recogida y super predispuestos. El Colo el mejor guía que tuvimos, los destinos te dejan sin palabras, son paisajes realmente espectaculares, y la organización de la empresa fue muy buena, muy contento con la compra de este paquete, la mejor opción para conocer este hermoso lugar.
Espectacular las 3 excursiones ! Los guías Belén , Arturo y Fernando lo más! Los paisajes son maravillosos💕 Lo recomiendo !
Cachi es hermoso, las Salinas fue lo que mas esperaba conocer y lo que mas me gusto y Cafayate hermoso.
We went to Cachi, Salinas and Cafayate with the guides Mercedes, César and Fernando respectively, always attentive and informed. The drivers Carlitos, Ramón and Favio. We had a great time on our tours! Delighted with Salta and its people. And those who sold us the tours exceeded our expectations, thanks Fernanda and Mercedes ❤️
The trips were very good! They all have incredible views and landscapes along the way. The guides explain everything very well. We loved the experience.
Wir wurden pünktlich abgeholt, gut befördert, bekamen gute Erklärungen auch in Englisch und tolle Eindrücke aus der Umgebung von Salta sowie den 3 Zielen. Glück mit dem Wetter hatten wir auch. Sehr guter Preis für das Gebotene, sehr empfehlenswert!
Die Landschaft ist überwältigend und sehr abwechslungsreich. Die Tagesausflüge sind eine gute Möglichkeit, diese in Kleingruppen zu erkunden.
Excellent excursions! If you stay in Salta remember that they start at 7 am picking up people by the hotels and you return type 18:30 or 19 hs, Salinas is beautiful and give you a prudent time to take your photos, Cachi is beautiful!! To be long excursions the guides are cupped and make you bearable! Especially Maria Laura!! With all its vibes and sympathy!! A genius! I would re-contract with them
All proteins recommended. It is recommended to plan at least 1 night and visit a bodega.
The first time I visited Salta and I found it beautiful, but the stay improved thanks to the excursions and the excellent guide we had Ana Belén, a love of person, super intelligent, knowledgeable and always pending of his group. Thanks also to Patricia who always reminded us of the excursions.
