Quebrada Del Toro (The Toro Gorge)You will go on a journey through three different areas, allowing you an opportunity to get to know the best of this remote region in just one day. Start the trip by exploring the "Road to the Clouds," which follows the famous railway track of the "Train to the Clouds" through the “Quebrada del Toro” (Bull’s Gorge) up to San Antonio de los Cobres. On our way we will make a stop at Alfarcito where we are going to enjoy breakfast at a educational community of Father Schiffrin.
-
San Antonio de los CobresWe will follow the tracks of the famous Train to the Clouds, admiring this engineering work begun in the 1920s. On this route we cross the Quebrada del Toro to San Antonio de los Cobres. We will make photo stops, for example at the La Polvorilla Viaduct.
-
Salinas GrandesAfter this, we will begin the tour along the route that will take us to Salinas Grandes. A completely different landscape from the one we saw in the first part of the trip and with many possibilities of seeing llamas and vicuñas. In Salinas, we will witness one of the most beautiful white expanses in Argentina with sporadic turquoise hues and almost perfect reflections. Here, with the help of a local guide, we will have time to explore this great sea of salt, the turquoise lagoons that impact everyone who visits them, and including a very special visit to the Ojos del Salar (subject to weather conditions or limited in the summer by the native communities that manage the visits). The local guide will also explain to us about the interesting process of extracting table salt. At this point, we can take the famous photos jumping, in perspective, and with the reflection of the pools and eyes of the salt flat.
-
Cuesta de LipanAfter enjoying this mirror of salt, we will begin the third section, crossing the Cuesta de Lipán, an unforgettable scenic route, with a descent of 2,000 meters in 35 km. There you will see the transition from the desert of the Puna to the fertility of the wettest valleys.
-
PurmamarcaAfter this journey, we will arrive at the town of Purmamarca, where we will make a technical stop. Here you will see the famous Seven Colours Hill.
- In the way back, we will enjoy a snack at the bus. Your circuit route ends back in Salta, where you will be left at an agreed point. (pass by)
