Salinas Grandes, Argentina After this, we will begin the tour along the route that will take us to Salinas Grandes. A completely different landscape from the one we saw in the first part of the trip and with many possibilities of seeing llamas and vicuñas.
In Salinas, we will witness one of the most beautiful white expanses in Argentina with sporadic turquoise hues and almost perfect reflections. Here, with the help of a local guide, we will have time to explore this great sea of salt, the turquoise lagoons that impact everyone who visits them, and including a very special visit to the Ojos del Salar (subject to weather conditions or limited in the summer by the native communities that manage the visits). The local guide will also explain to us about the interesting process of extracting table salt. At this point, we can take the famous photos jumping, in perspective, and with the reflection of the pools and eyes of the salt flat. 180 minutes
Cuesta de Lipan, Purmamarca, Argentina After enjoying this mirror of salt, we will begin the third section, crossing the Cuesta de Lipán, an unforgettable scenic route, with a descent of 2,000 meters in 35 km.

Bien gente este pais es hermoso pero como el noroeste de nuestro pais ,no hay es hermoso o me enamoro ,quien sabe. recomiendo que desde el hotel o donde se alojen ya empiezen a coquear o tomar un te de coca amargo . Es necesario asi no se descomponen por la altura .Y traigan hojas de coca si pueden para hacerse un te digestivo muy bueno ..y natural . Basta de buscapina .Viaje dos veces en el 2015 y 2017 pero aqui no estan esas opcions ,en invierno .
