5.00It was a pleasure to travel with Abel and Horacio to Salinas Grandes and Purmamarca. Abel is one of the most well informed tour guides I’ve met on my whole trip and communicates excellently in Spanish and English. He covered pre-Incan history through the Spanish colonial invasion, all relating to the area we were exploring. When we weren’t learning about the area, Abel had most of the bus laughing and smiling.
Excellent guide service

5.00We booked this tour for two people and it was a great experience. We had been picked up directly from our hotel and we went on an adventure. Our guide, Abel, was exceptionally kind and extremely attentive. The views are amazing and we recommend them. Attention they can pick you up a little before the time, for timing reasons.

5.00The tour covered everything I wanted to see. The bus was comfortable for the long day, and the pre-trip communication was good. Luciana our guide handled dual-language guiding well and ensured everyone was well-informed of timings, etc. our driver Fernando was careful and I felt safe on the twisty high altitude roads.
