Argentina · JUJUY TOURS
The good jujuy tours fill up weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes, and how they actually differ.
A private 1h45 walk around Purmamarca with friendly llamas, color stops, and photo viewpoints, guided in English and Spanish.
“This was one of the highlights of the trip. Both the area and the experience with the Llamas were one of a kind.”
Guided hike from Jujuy to Purmamarca, Salinas Grandes, and Los Colorados, with Seven Colors Hill views, altitude, and desert trails.
“The trip was really well organized. Eric expertly guided us through the beautiful mountains and breathtaking landscapes, while our wonderful guide Martin explained everything to us. I had a wonderful day and learned so many new things. We saw many wild animals and unique landscapes The day flew by highly recommended Ale Thank you!!!”
4-hour private trek from Purmamarca across a dry river bed. Learn geology, native culture, and medicinal plants with guide Fabricio.
“Fabricio was an excellent guide and we are so glad we did this on our first morning in Purnamarca because he explained so much about the geology and flora and fauna and we were able to really appreciate the region on the following days. He was very good at accommodating our hiking pace and I highly recommend him! Preston Read and family”
Ten hours from Jujuy through Humahuaca Gorge towns to Hornocal, home of the Hill of 14 Colors and UNESCO sights.
“The trip itself was okay, however i would not recommend this agency. They sent us a message at 8pm that due to carnival the tour would start at 6am instead of 9:30am. We couldn’t cancel anymore because the deadline was over and then we had to get up really early even though we got to jujuy really late at night. The next morning the time we should get picked up got pushed later like four times. And then we waited an hour to be picked up - in the end it was 9:15. Overall very poorly communicated by the agency. For the tour itself you need to be prepared to…”
10-hour Quebrada de Humahuaca circuit from Jujuy with Purmamarca Seven Colors, Tilcara Pucará, Humahuaca, Uquía angels, and Maimará stops.
“Non fate questo tour che non comprende Hornocal, la montagna dai 14 colori, è la cosa più bella da fare alla Quebrada de Humahuaca. La nostra guida non non è stata sincera con noi dicendoci che comunque anche se gli altri andavano a vedere la montagna e noi no, non ci saremmo perse nulla. Alla fine abbiamo lasciato il tour per vedere la montagna e ne è assolutamente valsa la pena. Guida poco entusiasta di mostrarci i meravigliosi paesaggi del posto, Autista simpatico… Sarebbe stata gradita un po’ più di onestà, dato che siamo venuti apposta per vedere questi posti. In più, la gestione del tempo non è buona, ci…”
See Salinas Grandes salt flats from Jujuy, plus Purmamarca and the Hill of Seven Colors, on a high-altitude day up to 4,170m.
“Guida e autista super carini e disponibili. La gita è un po’ approssimativa nel senso che non vedi molto dei paesi e sia nella salina che a purmamarca stai troppo poco”
Two-hour mountain bike ride from Tilcara into rural gravel roads, multicolored hills, and back, led by guide Francisco.
“Francisco was our favorite guide on a 3 week trip. I would absolutely book with him again next time we’re in Tilcara.”
Bike 14 km across Salinas Grandes, picnic on the salt flats, see Ojos del Salar lagoons, and learn traditional salt extraction.
“My friend and I had a fantastic time on this bike adventure. It was one of the most worthwhile experiences I've ever engaged in and was an easy highlight of our vacation to Salta and Jujuy. Francisco (one of the two guides) was extremely helpful and kind, responding to me quickly and in detail over WhatsApp and helping my friend and me with some travel difficulties that came up in getting to the salt flats. Once the tour began, Francisco and Ariel were phenomenal guides, giving us great quality gear, history and education on the salt flats at various stops, lots of time for pictures, (Ariel offered to take many…”
Full-day trip from Jujuy through the Quebrada, Cuesta de Lipán, Salinas Grandes, and Purmamarca, with photo stops and free time.

Full-day Spanish tour from Salta to Purmamarca, Humahuaca, and Hornocal for the Hill of Seven and Fourteen Colors along Route 9.
