Salta
March 4th, 5th, 8th and 9th (4 nights)
Nice charming city and a perfect starting point for the surrounding nature hotspots.
Learning: Exchange your blue dollars in B.A., here the rate is much worse.
Cafayate Tour
March 5ths
One day tour to a wine distillery in the south, including great canyon look-alike scenery.
Iruya
March 6th (1 night)
Spending half the day on the public bus from Salta to Humahuaca and straight to Iruya. The village is tiny and not really a luxurious place to stay – but having a mountain panoramic view out of the bed was fantastic. If you stay 2
nights (which i recommend but didn’t do) you should consider doing the hiking tour to San Isidro. People who went there very much recommended doing it. For the afternoon, its a good idea to hike up to
Mirador del Cóndor (~2h) to see and hear the Andean condor. If you have time and energy left, you can go an hour further to a nearby waterfall.
Purmamarca, Humahuaca & Hornocal
March 7th (1 night in Purmamarca)
Purmamarca:
7-colored mounts, nice small town and easy walking around.
Humahuaca &
Hornocal: Stop to Iruya.
