Argentina Tour – Experiencing the Untouched Northwest

Discover the spectacular landscapes of the untouched Northwest on this 14-day self-drive Argentina tour. From the wine region of Mendoza, your route takes you through the dramatic Calchaquí Valleys to Salta La Linda. Experience UNESCO World Heritage sites, colourful mountains, and authentic colonial cities at your own pace.

Your journey through Argentina's Northwest begins in the famous wine region of Mendoza, where you'll set off amidst vineyards with views of the majestic Aconcagua. The highest mountain in the Southern Hemisphere will accompany you on the first stages of your self-drive tour.

The route, via Uspallata and picturesque Barreal, will lead you to the geological wonders of Talampaya and Ischigualasto National Parks, where ancient dinosaur tracks tell tales of a prehistoric past. The red rock formations and bizarre landscapes of this region will captivate you.

Further north you will reach the legendary Valles Calchaquíes with the charming wine town of Cafayate and the colonial mountain village of Cachi. The Quebrada de Humahuaca, a UNESCO World Heritage site, welcomes you with the famous Hill of Seven Colours near Purmamarca and the endless expanses of the Salinas Grandes.

Your trip around Argentina concludes in the elegant colonial city of Salta, which is known as "La Linda" – the Beautiful – for good reason.
