The tour typically includes transportation from the meeting point in Salta, a professional tour guide who will provide information on the local culture, history, and geography of the region, and stops at various viewpoints to enjoy panoramic views. Time to explore the Salinas Grandes on foot is also included. Meals are not usually included, so it is recommended to bring snacks and water for the trip.
The "Vuelta por las Alturas y Salinas Grandes" (Round the Heights and Salinas Grandes) excursion generally lasts a full day, with an itinerary that can vary between 12 and 14 hours. The journey begins early in the morning from the city of Salta and continues until dusk, allowing for a complete experience through the Andean landscapes and the Salinas Grandes. It`s important to consider travel time and stops, ensure comfortable clothing and sun protection, and anticipate possible temperature fluctuations.
The excursion is ideal for travelers of all ages who wish to experience the natural beauty of the Andean region. However, it is important to consider that the trip involves high altitudes, which may affect those with health conditions, young children, or the elderly. Participants are advised to consult a doctor if they have altitude-related concerns. Nevertheless, the tour is designed to be accessible, with comfortable stops for rest and acclimatization.
To fully enjoy the Salinas Grandes tour, it is recommended to wear comfortable and warm clothing, as temperatures can vary considerably. It is essential to wear sunscreen and sunglasses to protect yourself from the intense glare of the salt flats. It is also a good idea to bring water and some snacks, as food stops are limited. Don`t forget your camera or smartphone to capture the stunning views. Finally, comfortable shoes are key for walking on uneven terrain and exploring the surrounding areas of the salt flats.
The weather at Salinas Grandes can vary significantly throughout the day. During the day, temperatures are often quite high due to the altitude and sun exposure, while at night they can drop considerably, requiring adequate clothing. Furthermore, the area is known for being very dry and highly exposed to the sun, making the use of sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses essential. When planning your excursion, it is important to be prepared for these weather changes by bringing appropriate clothing and hydration.
