Worth visiting Salta
Lovely province Jumps, beautiful scenery and very warm its people. I'd definitely come back. It would improve some excursions, for example Train to the clouds, exhausting, many hours of travel going from the city of Salta. I found Iruya beautiful, exhausting but really worth it, it is a magical town.

Towns and routes of Salta
We traveled through the province of Salta by car. Extraordinary landscapes that a photo or video cannot reproduce. Some gravel routes could be in better condition but despite this the routes are extremely enjoyable.

beautiful landscapes, hard to reach roads
From Humahuaca to Iruya it is about 70 km, 50 km of ripio and it costs by zig zag but it is worth it. Iruya is a magical village, supported by the mountain. Several restaurants and hotels to stay overnight, full of European tourists. In Humahuaca you have to visit the wonderful Hornocal Hill, the 14-color hill. It is a dazzling landscape, especially when it is lit by the sun.
Response from the operator: ¡Hola Mirta! ¡Muchas gracias por tus comentarios! Nos alegra saber que se queda con un hermoso recuerdo de Humahuaca e Iruya y que los destinos hayan colmado sus expectativas. Esperamos tenerla nuevamente entre nuestros visitantes, Saludos cordiales,

Iruya from Tilcara
We drove from Tilcara. We left at 10 a.m. from Tilcara and arrived in Iruya at 1.30 p.m. The road is beautiful but : the ripio of the Jujeño section is less maintained than the Salteño section. You can drive without problem. The calculation is 1 hour of asphalt and 2 hours of ripio since it is 56 kmts of ripio . The road is worth it and the village is adorable. We walked 2 hours through Iruya and at 4 pm we started the return taking mate. The lap is a little faster because it is on the descent. At 7pm we were in Tilcara back. You can come and go in the day.

Humahuaca Gorge and Iruya 2 Days Journey from Salta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salta.
How much does Humahuaca Gorge and Iruya 2 Days Journey from Salta cost?
+
Prices start at $503 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 Humahuaca Gorge and Iruya 2 Days Journey from Salta take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Humahuaca Gorge and Iruya 2 Days Journey from Salta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Salta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Humahuaca Gorge and Iruya 2 Days Journey from Salta?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Humahuaca Gorge and Iruya 2 Days Journey from Salta suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Humahuaca Gorge and Iruya 2 Days Journey from Salta?
+
Around 2 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Humahuaca Gorge and Iruya 2 Days Journey 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.
