3 Days 3 Full Excursions Pack

I booked the Cachi, Cafayate, and Salinas Grandes combo. The first excursion to Cachi was terrible; they sent us a destroyed bus with cracked windows, tires that were not in good condition, and internal parts of the bus tied together with zip ties and packing tape. Beyond this summary, the most serious thing was that half an hour after leaving for the Cachi destination, the driver realized that the bus did not have enough power to climb, so we were in a cafeteria for 2 hours until a mechanic checked and solved the problem. In the meantime, I wrote to the tourism agency and the response was shameful. After 2 hours, we continued with the excursion. We arrived in Cachi, toured it, and when we headed back, on the return trip we began to smell something burning. We had to stop at night in the middle of the mountain road (gravel); the driver and one of the passengers who knew about mechanics identified that what was burning was the brake lining, so we spent more than 1 hour waiting for it to cool down while they poured coolant on it. The return trip was very complicated since the driver had to return to the city of Salta driving only with the gearbox since he could not use the brakes, so all the passengers were at great risk. Evidently, those buses do not have any type of inspection; it is not possible for these 2 events to happen on the same day. On the other hand, I want to point out that the tires were totally bald; it is incredible that such a bus is allowed to circulate, exposing all passengers on those types of roads. The next day I did the excursion to Cafayate and they sent a slightly better bus. On the 3rd day, I was supposed to do the excursion to Salinas Grandes, and since I knew that the mountain road is very high, 4170 meters, for my safety and that of my partner, I did not take the excursion with Nordic Travel, since I consider that my life is worth much more than the cost of the excursion; I booked the excursion through another company and honestly it was the best decision I made.

The buses are a disgrace. We were left stranded for 6 hours because the bus broke down twice during a trip. The guides are great. Very knowledgeable. Buses are a tragedy waiting to happen.

Excellent experience: organization, transportation, everything! Very well organized and people who participate very suitable

We were promised to go to purmamarca mandara and tilcara... late they arrived only to tilcara...charisma to see nothing...the descent of the devil was two hours before arriving... I do not recommend them... they lie...

Excellent everything! Excellent guides. Angie, Fabian and Raul Super prudent and responsible drivers Guille and Javier. Very punctual. Organized departures.

It's a 3/5 service. Practice to hire the combos if you need to solve your schedule in Salta. However, it is not luxury. Although they do. Starting with hiring, they publish “no hidden prices” at x value. Then according to the time they modify it. The transfer to and from the airport by JUAN is excellent. Very good driver. The excursion made to Cafayate with ANGIE gives flavor to little. Going to cafayate is to the rocket. The “red earth” winery is one of the worst I’ve ever seen, including the owner’s batterer. I also highlight the energy of the guide. How it was “high season” in addition to charging you more, they send you in a large bus with 45 people who do very little personalized the excursion added that if you go behind the microphone is the worst experience of your life. They just sent two retirees in the back seats where they didn’t see or hear anything, the answer was “send a message to the company.” The excursion to large salt flats and Purmamarca with Raul is longer. I highlight the beauty of the village. Raul is a strange character who defines himself as a flirting machine, good person, but the content of his guide is not the best. I highlight Mauritius' work as a driver, a complicated route.

The experience was very good, they complied with everything agreed and the service was excellent. The guides were very friendly and constantly attentive to anything we needed. Recommended!

The truth is that the company has an absolute 10. The attention, the punctuality, the treatment of all the kids, both the guides Jazmín and Pablo, as well as the administrative part, confirming the itineraries with sufficient advance notice. Totally recommended. You can't regret it.

You have to keep in mind that you get up at 5 am and return to the hotel after 6 pm, on all excursions because the tours are far away. The guides are very good, bilingual, prepared with a lot of information, good predisposition, I mention Jaz and Matias, excellent. The company did not pick us up at the hotel, so we had to go to the meeting point at dawn, which caused a lot of inconvenience and is not stipulated when hiring. The departure from Salinas Grandes was disastrous, the bus broke when going up to the salt flat at more than 3000 meters above sea level, which had already left with problems, the driver told us that the bus had already broken down the day before, they repaired it quickly and he returned to go out with us. We waited 2 hours on the side of the road for other buses to pass with a place that would allow us to continue the climb to the salt flat at 4 thousand meters, then to return to Salta we had to wait hours, they left us at the hotel at 9: 30 pm, having gotten up at 5 am. Would I hire them again? Definitely not. I would choose private tours that take less time, fewer unnecessary stops and are more dynamic.

We did the excursion to Cafayate and its ravines with the guide Angie and then the excursion to Salinas Grandes with the guide Ximena. In both cases they were beautiful experiences, both the guides and the drivers showed a lot of professionalism and made us have great moments. Nordic is recommended for all this and for punctuality, prior coordination and attention.
