- You will start the tour passing through different viaducts and bridges through which the emblematic train to the clouds passes, which connects Salta with the Andes . Through Route 51 you will reach the city of Campo Quijano , which houses an old steam locomotive from the legendary train.
- Afterwards, you will continue the excursion through the impressive landscapes of the Quebrada del toro , which look like something out of a western movie. Next, you will pass through the town of Santa Rosa de Tastil and make a stop in San Antonio de los Cobres . There you will have free time to look for a local restaurant and have lunch on your own.
- With renewed energy, you will continue the route until you reach the border between the provinces of Salta and Jujuy , where the jewel of the excursion is located: the Salinas Grandes . This natural wonder originated millions of years ago is located in the Argentine highlands, at more than 4,000 meters of altitude. Considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Argentine Republic, this enormous desert with a layer of salt about 30 centimeters thick will leave you with your mouth open with its incredible salt landscapes.
- After getting to know this natural corner, which seems to be taken from another planet, you will start your way back to Salta. During the journey, you will make two stops: one on the Cuesta del Lipán (a winding road that descends down the side of a mountain) and in the small town of Purmamarca , the perfect place to admire the landscapes of Cerro de los Siete Colores, one mountain colored by the different types of sediments that have accumulated over millions of years.
- Finally, they will take you back to Salta and leave you at the point where they picked you up.
