Salta and Jujuy together in 4 days: the classic Northern Argentina route
How to combine both provinces on a long weekend and go home having seen the best of the north.
The best combination for a first trip
If it's your first time in the north and you have 4 days, staying in Salta city and adding full-day tours is the most comfortable way to see a lot without changing hotels every day.
Suggested itinerary
- Day 1: arrival and Salta city tour, folk music "peña" at night.
- Day 2: Cafayate and the Quebrada de las Conchas.
- Day 3: Quebrada de Humahuaca (Purmamarca, Tilcara, Humahuaca).
- Day 4: Salinas Grandes or Cachi, depending on how much altitude and driving you want.
Tour or rental car?
A car gives you freedom, but it means many hours of mountain and gravel roads. With a tour you don't have to drive, you have a guide who tells you the story of each place, and you can rest between stops. On NOA Check you can compare agencies' prices, schedules and reviews to choose the one that suits you best.
