Patagonia Tours

In early April we traveled through Salta and Jujuy in northern Argentina during a trip organized by Glenda's agency, which we booked on Trip.me. Our destination expert was Glenda. The planned itinerary developed like clockwork, the selected hotels were small and comfortable, most providing very good breakfast and dinner fare. The three of us (ages 74 to 79), traveled in a double cabin-pick up truck, with our guide and chauffer, Fernando, for ten days. Everything went smoothly, and Fernando was a prudent driver and knowledgable guide, providing interesting information about the history of the region, of Argentina colonial wars, the fauna and flora around us, the local customs, and the archeological settlings (Pucarás) of the ancient Aymaras. We spent some time in Salta and then visited the beautiful Calchaquí valley, crossing la Cordillera Oriental (the Easter mountain range) with amazing geological features. We then stayed in the town of Tilcara in Jujuy, where we visited a Pucará reconstructed by Argentinian archeologists, on a hill close to the town. From there we traveled to the Puna to visit the Salinas Grandes, and in our way back, the small town of Purmamarca. On another trip we visited the town of Humahuaca. The roads in the region are excellent. We felt safe all the time in the mountain roads, and did not suffer any symptoms of mountain sickness, even at more than 4,000 meters (about 13,000 feet). The landscapes were amazing, the people friendly, and the whole trip extremely enjoyable.

Ezequiel was very helpful in planning my trip to Argentina and was always there to answer all my questions.

Everything was well organized from start to finish. Guides were efficient and pleasant. The trip actually exceeded our group's expectations.

Lorena was very quick to respond to all my questions regarding our trip to Chile. Not only did she respond promptly but she called to check on me during my trip. I was very happy with her knowledge and help.

Our trip is over and we want to thank Lujan for the opportunity and for patience during the preparation of the trip.
The trip was organized very well and all services were provided on time and with high level of professionalism.
Special thanks to Gabriel from Mendoza and to Frodo from Ushuaia, their knowledge, friendliness and sense of humor were remarkable and we will take it as a national Argentinian trait of character.
We will be happy to recommend services of Lujan to our friends and relatives
