How many days would I need for Salta + area? What would be the cost for a single room, good, safe hotel? I'm interested in cave paintings, archeological sites, nature etc.

Our 6 days package is more than enough to visit Salta and Jujuy. The distances to visit all those places are big but this package would fit well.

I liked the itinerary—we covered most of the major sights. The tour guide was knowledgeable and punctual. The only issue I had was that he made several negative comments about different groups of people. First, he said that the Rapa Nui people don’t like outsiders coming to Easter Island. That made me very uncomfortable, especially since I am also an outsider. Considering that tourism is a source of income for the Rapa Nui people, that comment felt unkind. Second, he mentioned multiple times that Rapa Nui people don’t like Chinese people. Although I may have made similar observations, I would not share them with anyone except those very close to me. Those kinds of comments should not be shared with clients. Hearing this repeatedly made me wonder what he might be saying about other groups, including Americans or Filipinos (I am a U.S. citizen of Filipino heritage). Third, he made negative comments about the owner of one of the restaurants I visited. He mentioned that they do not like the owner, and I don’t understand why he would share that with me. Finally, he also made a comment about a French company—I believe it was an oil company—but the context was unclear. Overall, these types of remarks are inappropriate to make to a client. They felt rude and unprofessional.Show more

  1. 6 days vs. 10 ? 2. How many people in the group? 3. Are any days to start better then any other? 4. Single room, 5. What is the cost 6. I am interested in prehistoric painting, archeology etc— any sites close by? 7. How much flexibility to see other sites? 8. What are temperatures to be expected?
- Signature DMCOperator•Written March 2026
  In our 6 days package is more than enough to be able to visit the main places the northwest has to offer. If you would like to visit some specific places, we would have to quote all the services in private, and note that the cost difference due to the distance in Salta/Jujuy is really long. The groups may be up to 17 aproximatelly usually, but it's possible on some of the excursions to be with even more people in bigger buses. Theres not an specific date to recommend more to start your trip during your available travel dates. On our Tour Radar webiste you can check the price in single base, and it has a cost of 2.460 USD. In case you would like the flexibility to visit some other places, you would have to make the trip in private. During a shared excursion is not possible to change the itinerary. The temperature during your travel date would be between 10 and 25° Celcius, maximum and minimum.
