Tour Plan
According to your flight itinerary, you will be picked up at the airport and transferred to your hotel. After check in, you will enjoy the rest of the day as you please.
The tour will begin with the departure from our offices in the centre of Salta, at 06:15 AM. Thanks to the technical conditions of our vehicles, the "Safari to the Clouds" offers the only possibility of combining three unforgettable tours of the Argentine Northwest in an unforgettable day: First, the "Road to the Clouds", following the tracks of the famous Train to the Clouds, admiring this magnificent work of engineering that begun in the 1920's by Quebrada del Toro to San Antonio de los Cobres. We will take a break to have lunch in San Antonio de los Cobres and after lunch, we will go to the famous Viaducto de la Polvorilla. Then, we'll head to La Puna cross by Route No 40 reaching the Salinas Grandes on the border with Jujuy.
We will descend by Cuesta de Lipán until reaching the picturesque village of Purmamarca. After this stop, we will return to Salta while we enjoy a small snack in the bus. We will be arriving at 6 PM to our meeting point in Salta City. Purmamarca is located at the foot of the famous Cerro de los Siete Colores.
You will have the day at leisure to enjoy the city of Salta.
This rafting adventure will take you through more than 12 class II and III rapids, ending around noon at the base of the canyon, where we will enjoy a delicious Argentinean Asado.
We will leave from downtown Salta (Caseros 177), to go to the Juramento River Canyon (2 hours by car from Salta's capital).
There, we will meet our guide, who will give us a brief instructive talk about rafting and safety. The equipment is handed over and we start descending the rapids of the Juramento River. There are 12 different class II and III rapids, framed by the imposing landscape of the Juramento River Canyon. The tour ends 12 kms. ahead in Los Lapachos; there our vehicles will be waiting for us to take us back to the base, where we will be welcomed with a delicious lunch: a typical asado with several cuts of meat, sausages and salads, as well as water and juices.
You will enjoy the rest of the afternoon at leisure, until your return time, exploring the surroundings on your own. Then, at approximately 4:00 p.m., we will start our return trip to the city of Salta, to the same point of departure.
Your driver will pick you up at your hotel and take you to the departure Airport to board your return flight. This is the end of the services.
