Great Salt Flats & Purmamarca
About
Visit the Great Salt Flats (Salinas Grandes) on a day trip from Salta or a half-day tour from Purmamarca. The scenic journey is almost as impressive as the destination; most tours stop at the Hill of Seven Colors in Purmamarca and Cuesta de Lipan, a dramatic mountain road. Though there are numerous points from which to enter the salt flats, most tours travel down Highway 52, which cuts right through the center of the salt desert and affords the best views.
