Reviews of Tour To The Grandes Salinas

Mesmerizing Journey to Grandes Salinas

Reviews

Absolutely stunning! The Tour to the Grandes Salinas blew my mind. The vast white landscape was otherworldly, and the drive through the picturesque mountains was an adventure in itself. Our guide was knowledgeable and super friendly. I totally recommend bringing sunglasses, because the brightness is intense. This is a must-do if you're near Purmamarca. These salt flats are like nothing I've ever seen before—perfect for those Instagram shots! Trust me, you'll love it.

Culture and history Wildlife watching

The Salinas Grandes tour includes round-trip transportation from Purmamarca, an experienced tour guide who will provide information about the history and geography of the region, and stops at key vantage points for stunning photographs. A guided tour of the salt flats is also included, where you can learn about the salt extraction process. It is recommended to bring water, sunscreen, and appropriate clothing for the weather, which can vary from hot during the day to cool in the evening. Always check with your tour operator what is included.
The best time to visit the Salinas Grandes is usually between May and October. During these months, the weather is drier, ensuring clear skies and pleasant daytime temperatures, ideal for exploring and taking photos. During the rainy season (November to April), although the region takes on a special charm with its reflections in the water, some trails may be impassable. Before planning your visit, it`s advisable to check the weather forecast and consult with local tour operators about the terrain conditions.
For the excursion to the Salinas Grandes, it`s recommended to wear comfortable, lightweight clothing for the day, but include a jacket or coat, as it can get quite cool in the afternoon. Don`t forget sunscreen and sunglasses, as the salt reflects sunlight intensely. Bring plenty of water and some snacks, although you may make stops along the way to buy food. It`s advisable to bring a camera or a good smartphone to capture the surreal landscapes of one of Argentina`s most iconic destinations.
The excursion to the Salinas Grandes generally lasts about a full day, departing early in the morning. The usual itinerary includes transportation from Purmamarca through stunning mountain scenery. There are often stops at notable points such as the Cerro de los Siete Colores (Cerro of Seven Colors) before reaching the salt flats. There, tourists can explore the vast salt desert, learn about local history and the salt extraction process from their guide. The return trip is scheduled for sunset, allowing visitors to enjoy the changing light on the hills and plains.
The Salinas Grandes excursion is suitable for most ages, as it does not require strenuous physical activity. However, it is recommended that those with walking difficulties or respiratory problems consult their doctor and notify the tour operator in advance, as altitude may be a factor. Families with young children will find this experience fascinating, but should ensure they are well hydrated and protected from the sun. Bringing water and following the guide`s instructions will ensure a comfortable and safe trip.
