An excellent trip with guide, Samuel and driver, Carlos. Enough time was spent at each location, lots of information provided in English and Spanish, and many opportunities for taking photos. Bring some cash for the Salinas Grande and observation deck in Pumarmarca.

Full description

After pickup from the meeting point in Jujuy, take a drive through the picturesque towns of Yala, Volcán, and Tumbaya. On your way, make a stop at the Seven Colors Hill viewpoint and marvel at the wonderful views of the multi-hued mountain illuminated by the sun.

Then, arrive in the village of Purmamarca at the base of the Seven Colors Hill where you'll begin your hike. Start by ascending the slopes of Cuesta del Lipán, Cuesta del Saladillo, and Abra de Potrerillos. Make sure to pay attention to occasional local wildlife including vicunas and llamas along the way.

When you reach 4,150 meters (13,615 feet) above sea level, take in impressive views of the Salinas Grandes, a spectacular white salt plain that creates a striking contrast with the blue sky. Spend about 45 minutes at the top exploring the blue volcanoes and admiring the breathtaking views.

On the return hike, follow the trail back to Purmamarca where you'll have free time for lunch (not included in the tour price). Take the opportunity to stroll through the charming narrow streets, admire views of the mountain, and explore the craft market.

After lunch, enjoy a 30-40 minute hike along the stunning Colorados trail, which leads into the surrounding desert landscapes between the mountains. At the end of the tour, return to Jujuy.

This is a great way to explore the quebrada de humahuaca, especially if you don’t have your own car. Salinas grandes and purmamarca are both great and the guides did their best in explaining the history of the places, the fauna and the flora in the surroundings. We didn’t appreciate the fact that we were informed only the day before that there will be no English speaking guide as advertised.
