Salinas Grandes via San Antonio de los Cobres

Salinas Grandes

We depart from the city of Salta heading towards Jujuy. Continuing our journey, we arrive in Purmamarca by mid-morning, where we have a brief stop for panoramic photos of the Seven Colored Hill. Continuing along a scenic mountain road, we traverse the "Cuesta del Lipan". Along the way, we make scheduled stops to capture photos and experience the sensation of being above the clouds, reaching our highest point at 4,170 meters above sea level. Descending to 3,600 meters above sea level, we visit the impressive Salinas Grandes (salt flats), including salt extraction sites, natural pools, and crafts from local artisans. We return along the same route, but with a different landscape perspective as the sun sets behind us, changing the mountain colors. Upon returning to Purmamarca, there is free time to explore the village and have lunch (at your own expense). Afterwards, we continue our journey back to Salta.

Cerro de los Siete Colores (Hill of Seven Colors) in Jujuy, Argentina, captivates with its striking geological formations showcasing vibrant layers of minerals. This natural wonder near Purmamarca offers a breathtaking display of reds, purples, greens, and yellows, making it a photographer's paradise.
