I'm Jezabel, but my friends call me Jes. I was born and raised in Salta. I spent my childhood reading everything about History, Geography, Literature and so on, and I had the chance to live a couple of months in England, that helped me to improve my english speaking. And that's why my work as a tour guide started as son as I was 21 years old in 2005.

While I was doing my degree as a Professor in History at University, I also worked in the High Altitude Archeological Museum (MAAM) which is nowadays the most visited museum in the country. That also expanded my knowledge of the richness of the culture and history that we have at the North West of Argentina. Currently on my free time I still work doing some historical and anthropological research.

I take satisfaction in sharing my knowledge of the history and culture of his huge and diverse land to visitors. Being a tour guide has given me the chance to interact with individuals from all over the world, and I consider myself fortunate to learn from them, and share my experiences with them too.

I turn my trips into a way of living, I enjoy being a guide, but also being a tourist. I spent a couple of years traveling around Asia and South America. This helped me to discover that in difference there is always something in common. This is a dialectical relationship that is created in the journey of traveling. Talking, learning, sharing is part of the many things that happens when we are open to know something new.

I have an easygoing personality that I believe enables me to connect with travelers on a slightly deeper level and make their adventures in the Argentinean NW unforgettable. I would love to take you to the mountains, the landscape and the people that lives there, as an interpreter for you, not only as a guide.

All my tours can be customized so we can find the best for you!

Have you thought about a place that every kilometer changes the landscape? The answer is going to Cachi, a full day trip where we will switch from a Valley view to the mountain rainforest. As long as we drive higher in altitude, we will see mountains with little vegetation and the serpentine route to a new ecological floor: the Puna. But is going to be a very particular Puna, were only is possible to see a sharp grass and guanacos. After the Safari, we will open a new door, where the pathway will take us to a big land full of cactus in the heart of the Parque Nacional Los Cardones. 
We will continue enjoying to Cachi, this little colonial town where we have lunch and at the afternoon we will return to Salta. I recommend to add the experience of a local winery, where is possible to have lunch.


Cachi: opening the Alicia in Wonderland´s doors. 

Quebrada de Humahuaca, declared Cultural and Natural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2003 is located in Jujuy province. It is a narrow and arid mountainous valley, flanked by the high plateau of the Puna and the eastern wooded areas. It is located in the north-westernmost portion of Argentina along the spectacular valley of the Rio Grande.

Drive up to Salinas Grandes climbing from 2200 metres to 4170 metres on the Cuesta de Lipan. From the high pass we descend to the salt flats located in the high Andean plateau called Puna or Altiplano.
In Salinas Grandes we can learn about local communities mining salt by hand.

A long day of many kilometers traveled full of colors, flavors, and tradition.
