A wide ranging private, tailor-made tour of the best landscape and culture the far north of Argentina has to offer. We’ll explore the multi-colored Quebrada de Humahuaca, famous for its Seven Colored Hill and rich in history from Pre-Inca to colonial times. The intrepid among you may also want to brave the high altitude 14 Coloured Hill of Hornocal, at 14,248 ft (4,344m) above sea level. We will stroll around the historic town of Humahuaca, much more indigenous in feel than cosmopolitan Salta, and also visit Jujuy's capital city, San Salvador. Then we’ll cross the outer mountain range of the Andes into the Altiplano and the wide open plains of the Salinas Grandes salt flats, with their stunning view of the mountains.

Fantastic Tour of Towns & Tastes
It was the right move to have a local driver to tour this region. I do not think we would have fared well in a rental car. From the beginning Alicia & Nick at Poncho Tours were responsive & full of suggestions as we finalized our itinerary. Nick accompanied us on this trip & was full of facts & history of the region. This UNESCO recognized area was gorgeous! Nick took us to lots of wonderful local stops for traditional dishes (which my husband loved as a Chef). There was plenty of time for landscape photos, shopping & wine breaks. We stayed overnight in Uquia at a small winery with 3 rooms that was both rustic & comfortable. Nick was a perfect host on this trip & we felt very safe and secure in his truck in the mountainous terrain. We can’t say enough about Poncho Tours except they will be our first call if we ever return to Salta & Jujuy.
Response from the operator: Thanks Debbie, it was a pleasure to take you and Willy around the northwest for three days!

Enjoyed the landscape around Salta
I had an excellent tour. I am glad I splurged and hired a private guide. Raul was very informative and helpful, in addition to being accommodating. We covered a lot of territory in my five days of touring Salta.
Response from the operator: Good to meet you, Alan!

This is a must if you go to Argentina!
We did a 3-day tour with Poncho Tours and it was amazing. Rodriguez was our guide. His hospitality and knowledge of everything from nature to wine to food to history was five star! Our family loved to linger in the beautiful sites and he gave us the time we needed. We did a hike with llamas which was in one of the most beautiful settings we have ever seen. While we were planning, Nick answered all of our questions and helped us with hotel recommendations for the tour.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much.

Fantastic 4-day tour
We chose Poncho Tours from the great online reviews & because we were concerned about driving during the rainy season & the possible state of the roads. What a great choice. Nick helped in advance with advice on our itinerary and what to expect & we did the 3 days Humahuaca with an extra day so we could do a loop via Susques. Ale our driver & guide did a a fantastic job and we had an incredible 4 days from Salta exploring Tilcara, Cascada del Diablo, Humahuaca, 14 coloured mountains, Qubrada de las Señoritas, 7 coloured hill & Purmamarca, Salinas Grande, Susques then the amazing Route 40 with a stop at the thermal waters near the volcán Tuzgle, the train to the clouds at San Antoniode los Cobres, & ruins at Tastil before getting back to Salta. The views along Route 40 are truly spectacular but we were very glad we weren’t driving ourselves. Ale negotiated the roads post storms, was great company and really made the 4 days a success. Thank you - Mike & Cath
Response from the operator: So pleased it all went well and the weather was kind! Thanks for taking the time to write something positive, Cath, and thanks for choosing Poncho Tours.

3 day tour around Quebrada de Humahuaca.
3 day tour around Quebrada de Humahuaca. Fantastic experience from start to finish. Actually, it was a great experience from before we even got to Argentina. Nick gave us lots of invaluable advice for travelling in Argentina before we even got there. Upon arrival in Salta, Rodrigo, our guide for our three days, picked us up at the airport and took us to our hotel. He then helped us exchange dollars for pesos at a good rate. Both services above and beyond what I would expect from a tour, and very gratefully received. The tour itself was excellent. Rodrigo is a very nice guy, with lots of local knowledge and interesting stories. He is also an excellent driver, and despite the long days and sometimes difficult driving conditions, at no point did we feel anything other than 100% safe. The tour itself took in some incredible locations and really helped us get to see a part of Argentina we might not have ever visited. We were fortunate to cross paths with Nick, who was leading another tour in the area, and we very much enjoyed his company. A highly recommended tour and tour company, and we are exceedingly happy we found them and chose to go with them.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your comments, Chris, I'm glad the trip lived up to expectation. It was delightful to meet you both.

3-Day Quebrada de Humahuaca from Salta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salta.
How much does 3-Day Quebrada de Humahuaca from Salta cost?
+
Prices start at $954 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3-Day Quebrada de Humahuaca from Salta take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salta is not rushed.
Is 3-Day Quebrada de Humahuaca from Salta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Salta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Day Quebrada de Humahuaca from Salta?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3-Day Quebrada de Humahuaca from Salta suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3-Day Quebrada de Humahuaca from Salta?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salta and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Day Quebrada de Humahuaca from Salta start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Salta?
+
On Outty we rank every Salta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Salinas Grandes and Purmamarca, Tour Cafayate From Salta, Tour to Cachi from Salta. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Salta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Salta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
