Long journey with some lovely scenery 2 hours to wander around the town which was nice - encouraged to go into a restaurant but there are others to choose from

Well organised tour, exactly as described

Mikhail_S, Jan 2026
This tour to Cachi was exactly as described in the itinerary. Everything went smoothly, without any unexpected issues or extra charges. The schedule, stops and overall organisation matched the tour description, which made the experience relaxed and enjoyable. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and the visit to Cachi itself was well worth it.

The tour was ok, the driver was good, and the guide was friendly and informative. We covered a lot of miles in the minibus, and the variety of scenery was very interesting.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear that the tour was good overall, with a safe driver, a friendly and informative guide, and plenty of beautiful scenery along the way. It’s true that these routes cover long distances, but the landscapes change constantly and make the journey worthwhile. Thank you for choosing the tour, and we hope the next experience is even better for you!

Vehicles require preventive maintenance

Lucas_S, May 2026
The experience went very well until the vehicle presented a mechanical problem in the middle of a mountain area, on the way to Cachi, a place without a cell phone signal. The guide and the driver are congratulating, they were quite proactive trying in every way to make contact and solve the problem for the tour to continue. Meanwhile, we stopped for about 3 hours waiting for other vans. We arrived in Cachi for lunch after 15:00. The tour passed by the end of the afternoon and we arrived in Salta around 21:00. I leave my sincere thanks to the guide Romina, who unfolded to carry out the tour in the best way, including worrying about accommodating me in a vehicle with more space due to my height. However, I do not recommend this company, I believe that vehicles that make daily rides on routes where there are land roads, gravel and other adverse conditions should undergo preventive maintenance very often. Add, also, that given the scarcity of phone signal on site, the company should equip the Vans with radio system or similar, in order to avoid these downtime, emphasis that we only managed to contact with a certain speed, thanks to the initiative of the guide and the driver who did not save efforts to get in touch.

Very worthwhile drive to get to know the valley

You take the minibus through breathtaking landscapes. There are always breaks for photos and information.

Experience somewhat disappointing...

MarieJose_B, Jan 2026
We had high expectations for this long outing...unfortunately, the disappointment was there (and for a second time with the same tour operator...). 1) the driver-guide never contacted us that same morning to inform us of the time of the pickup... even though the manager had confirmed to us the day before that it would be done! So instead of showing up between 7.30am and 8am, he arrived at 8.40am!!! 🙄 2) the announcement indicated excursion in English / Spanish... once again, the tour was 95% in Spanish... and in addition he spoke super fast... while I am still able to understand this language 😕 ... without forgetting the rudeness of the Spanish speaking passages that all started to speak as soon as the guide spoke in English 🫤 3) it is mainly a BUS excursion... we had very few stops (especially in stands where local produce vendors were)... few opportunities to walk and explore. 4) we had to have 2 hours free in Cachi... we just had 1h15... In short, although Ignacio was very nice, this tour was not up to the published announcement...

Cachi and Los Cardones

Vivian_S, Oct 2025
They were very punctual. Our driver Conejo and our guide Abel are very nice. Abel told us very interesting stories about all the places we passed, always with a lot of humor. Despite being a tiring walk, it is worth it, the landscapes are beautiful and Cachi is a small town that is worth seeing.

Excelente

Valeria_R, Feb 2025
Fue impecable. El tiempo que te dedican y la info brindada por quién se nota ama su tierra fue de una gran generosidad. Aminorar la marcha o frenar para que tomes mejor la foto también es un detalle que se valora. Llevan chófer y guía lo cual hace la diferencia. Busqué esta agencia para contratar otra excursión y también fue perfecta. Son rigurosos con los horarios pero con buena energía y comprensivos.
