Northern Argentina, Uyuni, Atacama Highlights

Our mix of culture, scenery and adventure through Argentina’s altiplano, Bolivia’s salt flats and Chile’s Atacama desert make this a perfect holiday for those seeking comfort with excitement.

This discovery vacation is similar to our 15 day Salt Flat trek, but focuses more on a more relaxed and comfortable itinerary, without ever cutting back on the adventure.

Every day, you pass colourful cultures, rock formations and a dazzling array of different scenery.

We concentrate our efforts in visiting the highlights and attractions in these mountains. Towns such as Humahuaca, Tilcara, Uquía and Purmamarca, which thrive among the amazing multi-coloured rocks of the surrounding mountains, offer a unique insight.

Purmamarca boasts a Mountain of Seven Colours. There are enornmous salt plains, lakes of many colours and condors against a clear blue sky.

Humahuaca is a bustling town packed with artisan shops, a dramatic town square and often live music in the streets. It provides an interesting comparison to the other towns and villages we visit as we travel.

Bolivia and Chile

Next, it’s the the Wilderness of Southern Bolivia, Uyuni, Salt Lakes, volcanoes. From Uyuni, we head out into the vast southern desert to enjoy the starkly beautiful landscapes of this dramatic desert wilderness.

Lakes that change colour, geysers and bizarre rock formations are just some of the highlights of this enormous salt plain.

From here, it’s to Chile and San Pedro de Atacama desert. We explore the varied Atacama landscape. One day you are floating around in the salty Laguna Cejar, the next, gazing at the awesome scenery from atop a salty peak.
