Overview of your Salta tour:

This trip is all about the treasure that hides the mountains and has the name of Iruya. It is a small town, founded in 1573 and looks like is “hanging” from the mountains. The steep and narrow streets once upon time was designed for mules. The chapel constructed with adobe bricks submerged us in a place where has no time. Also is a great place to enjoy the nature and to do a light to moderate trekking to the little town of San Isidro. The charming landscape following the river is breathtaking! Also, this trip can be customized as you wish, adding more days is possible to visit more towns of the Quebrada de Humahuaca, sleep an extra night in a hotel with natural hot springs or to continue to the north, to the border with Bolivia, where the Puna has more places to delight our eyes and experience. “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Henry Miller.
