    Incredible Salinas Grandes

    Very good excursion, it just seemed to me that the times everywhere were too tight; by combining the train with the salt flats, everything becomes too short. For example, in Maimara we got off the train and had 15 minutes, it's impossible to see anything. I think that everything being so tight leaves you with the feeling that you are only on the bus. The landscapes and places are incredible; I would just rethink the timing.

    Nice tour

    The tour was great, but it was a long day for sure. Get some rest the day before. We sis the solar train, which TBH is just skip and tour the city. You get a view of the same stuff as the bus, just at a slower pace. The salt flats were interesting though. Take sunglasses for sure. Overall a decent experience.

    Response from the operator: Muchas Gracias Jason

    Tour from Salta: Salinas Grandes + Jujuy Solar Train: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salta.

    How much does Tour from Salta: Salinas Grandes + Jujuy Solar Train cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 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 Tour from Salta: Salinas Grandes + Jujuy Solar Train take?

    +

    Plan for about 13 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 Tour from Salta: Salinas Grandes + Jujuy Solar Train worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 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 Tour from Salta: Salinas Grandes + Jujuy Solar Train?

    +

    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 Tour from Salta: Salinas Grandes + Jujuy Solar Train suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tour from Salta: Salinas Grandes + Jujuy Solar Train?

    +

    Around 1 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 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tour from Salta: Salinas Grandes + Jujuy Solar Train 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 Cafayate from Salta, Tour to Salinas Grandes and Purmamarca, 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.
