One of the best trips taken in Argentina. Francisco was really knowledgeable and it was a fascinating journey to the Salt flats. Cycling across them was brilliant fun and then we left the crowds behind to visit Ariel’s small salt mine. Then a delicious lunch. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed this trip.
