An excellent tour and the only way to explore this area in a week. Graciela is an excellent guide with an encyclopedic knowledge of the area, who organizes everything, tailoring the tour to your individual requests. She also has the 4 x 4 vehicle and the driving skills to deal with some very difficult roads and long distances. The scenery is absolutely spectacular, constantly changing and never disappoints. The archeological sites of Tastil and Quilmes were fascinating. The hotels, in particular those in Cafayate, Cachi and Colome were fabulous. Wine lovers will really appreciate the opportunity to explore the excellent wineries in these areas. Overall a wonderful & unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this tour with Graciela!

I love travelling! And that's why I've made of it my way of life. I'm a professional guide. Since 1999 I've been working in Salta, my birth place, and after that in the whole of Argentina, and in other countries, like Bolivia and Chile, South Africa, Namibia and Bostwana, until I've found my second home in Norway, where I spend half of the year. In the austral summers I'm in Argentina, ready to show the marvellous landscapes of the Argentinian Northwest. I work with a 4x4 car, and I love going out of the beaten paths, discovering hidden places, and taking the time to enjoy every single moment: a sunset, a glass of wine, a chat with a local person. During boreal summers I'm in Norway and I bike all over the amazing Oslo, to show travellers the most significant places: from the old city to the super modern new areas, from busiest working neighborhoods to relaxing green parks, from the main touristic attractions to the hidden spots where locals live, eat, work and have fun. I like sports. I believe that walking or biking gives you a much closer contact with the enviroment. You don't need to be a fit person, we can adapt the experience to all the levels, but I definitely suggest you to try it. The colors will seem stronger, you will feel the sounds, the smells, and the wind will stroke your face. I enjoy the contact with people, and I want to share what I've learned with you to help to make of your trip the best experience. Tourist Guide, registered in the Tourism Ministry of Salta.

Overview of your Salta tour
This is one of the most complete tours. I propose the main attractions and some hikes, and we can book also other activities like biking, horseback riding and kayaking. The first 2 days we will drive north to Quebrada de Humahuaca, Salinas Grandes and Quebrada del Toro, known by the Train to the Clouds railways. The last 3 days we'll drive along three different canyons: Quebrada de Escoipe, Quebrada de las Flechas and Quebrada de las Conchas. I offer you short hikes along the way outside the main road, and we will take you top the most exclusive wineries.
