Nearly two months ago, Tour Connections Lagunas de AtacamaCHILE guide NADIA alerted me to the third (Salar de UyuniBolivia & AtacamaCHILE are the other two) great salt basin Salinas GrandeARGENTINA, which became an obvious completion factor for my bucket list during my Tierra del Fuego odyssey, 14JAN-07APR2020. Overnighting at the fabulous La Reliquia in perfect PurmamarcaARGENTINA was essential to enjoying/learning about this critical climate. At the corner of Libertad & Rivadavia is where I submitted my name to the collectivo organizer, where I obtained a great seat (as a slightly mobility disabled person) for a perfect view of the winding switchback-filled route. We had a short break at an excellent viewpoint. I am SO GLAD this was exceptionally well-organized, the driver so skilled, and AMS didn’t affect me too much! It certainly gets my hearty “iWheel of Approval!” I encourage EVERYBODY to leave the driving to them so you can enjoy this amazing road as you visit the superb Salinas Grande-Purmamarca connection!

I was on a small tour from Salta to Cachi with a group of international tourists. We were so in awe of our wonderful driver who drove very cautiously on the narrow, dusty winding roads navigating the hairpin bends. Around every corner the views were so spectacular. Until we stopped at the peak, we did not realise how many bends we had driven and the steepness of the mountain side. Oh, what an amazing view. Near the peak is a cute little chapel named San Rafael. If you are in the Salta area, take the time to do the drive to Cachi, well worth it.

The road from Purmamarca to the Salinas Grandes was breath taking with the even changing coloured mountains and rock formations. The very steep winding road offered such spectacular views. The road took us from around 2000 m to 4170 m at the highest point where we stopped for a few minutes to take photos on unsteady feet. I highly recommend this drive.
