Amazing sights. The salt flats are magical and purmamarca is beautiful. It is a long trip as the drive from salta to purmamarca takes 3hrs. I wish the van stopped in a few more spots to take quick photos as there are many viewpoints. Purmamarca has a market with alpaca sweaters, toy alpacas, hats, etc... like a mini peru. Salt flats cost 4000 ars cash per person.
