Travelling In Tucuman

Northwest Argentina Fly & Drive Trip: Right from the first email from cecilia from Tangol Tours we had the feeling that we were in good hands. We had only a vague idea about what we wanted to do in northwest Argentina and she was able to make some suggestions which, after some discussion (including a Skype chat), led to us agreeing a plan. We went for 2 short tours; a 4 day/3 night one taking in Tilcara, Purmamarca, Susques and San Antonia de los Cobres, and a 3 day/ 2 night tour stopping at Seclantas and Cafayate. He also arranged tickets for us to attend La Serenata, a folkloric music festival that was on when we were in Cafayate (and which turned out to be excellent). She suggested a range of accommodation for us to stay and booked it all for us. SHe then met us at the airport and took us to our first hotel and made sure we were all prepared for the tour. Our guide, Pablo, was tremendous. He was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about his region. And he showed us some amazing sights. The countryside is so varied and interesting and we saw some truly stunning scenery. And he added in so much information about history, geology, local customs etc. He was also knowledgeable about local food and took us to some excellent and varied restaurants. Sampling good quality local food is such an important part of travelling for us. And he seemed to judge very well the pace of the trips and varied the level and type of activity from day to day. All in all a great trip.
