What people love about Argentina Tours from Salta
- 4-days in Salta: Humahuaca valley & wineries in Cafayate
Cafayate and Humauaca are incredible places, very beautiful. Something completely different from what we always heard or knew about Argentina.
Argentina is such a beautiful country! The people are so friendly. I traveled alone and not a time when I didn't feel safe. The person (Gonzalo) that I was contact with on WhatsApp was very, very helpful. I had to make changes in my flight because of airline strike. I had to stay at the airport for 24 hours! Gonzalo tried to find me accommodation but because of timing and other details, it made more sense for me to sleep at the airport. Many people did so I felt safe. This is not one of those tours where I was with the same people everyday. Although, the travelers that I met for each tours were very friendly that I never felt alone. Iguazu falls is such a spectacular view! I'm glad this tour afforded me to experience it on both the Argentina and Brazil side. The trip to Salta was nice. The valleys and rock formations are beautiful. I'm so glad I was happy to go on this tour!
