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.

Nice bus, friendly guide who spoke English well. Beautiful scenery and great food for our meal stop at the end in Purmamarca. Time for a little shopping or exploring. The sun is intense at Salinas Grande and I actually got a sunburn in a short amount of time, so be advised to wear sunscreen due to the intense reflection and high elevation, and I typically don’t burn easily. It was a very good value for the money! Would love to return, a must see.
