Salta
Lovely, Fascinating, Stunning
Salta is defined by its contrasts. On a single journey, the green of the Lerma Valley and the Calchaquí Valleys coexist with intensely colored hills and cacti that mark the landscape. The pace is steady and rhythmic, in harmony with the land and its rhythms. Throughout the days, rural life and local culture are expressed in the everyday: in simple gestures, shared flavors, and practices that remain in force.. It is an experience that puts the connection with the place, its people, and a way of traveling that prioritizes calm and authenticity.

Each day, a unique adventure
The trek takes place over five days and four nights, beginning and ending in the city of Salta. Each day includes five to six hours of horseback riding, with stops for lunch and rest. All meals are included, from breakfast to dinner, featuring local cuisine. Nights are spent in mountain refuges and rural outposts along the route. No prior experience is necessary, as horses are assigned according to each participant's skill level. The group is accompanied at all times by local guides and gauchos, ensuring the smooth running of the trip.
How to Get Here
The night before, you'll have the opportunity to join us at a traditional and authentic peña (folk music gathering) in Salta. There, you'll enjoy the region's folk music. Our adventure begins when we meet you in Salta early in the morning of our first day. Afterward, we'll take you to the hills behind the small town of La Viña, south of Salta, to meet and saddle the horses. We recommend flying to Salta from Buenos Aires.
