Please advise us at the time of booking if you have any special dietary requirements. Vegetarians are catered for throughout the trip, but please ensure that you advise us before you travel so that we can make the necessary arrangements on your behalf.

Weather

Since Argentina is in the southern hemisphere, the seasons there are opposite to those in Europe. For this reason trips to Argentina are organized between October and April. November to February is considered the warm season in this region and thunderstorms can occur. The cold season is June to August. Temperatures can drop quite a lot at night time because of the altitudes.

Is this trip for you?

There is no Exodus leader on this shared extension, but you will have the services of local guides, transfer agents and be provided with the contact details of our local partner in Argentina in case you should require assistance.

On this extension we experience some high altitudes throughout the trip, with the highest being at Salinas Grandes (the salt flats are at approx. 3450 m.a.s.l., however coming down to Purmamarca we'll have a brief photo stop at Alto El Morado which is 4170 m.a.s.l.). The itinerary covers quite a lot of ground and so it involves some long journeys, (please check daily driving distances listed per day in the itinerary) however the time spent on the road is a highlight in itself, as we follow some spectacular and dramatic routes and regularly stop for photo opportunities.

Altitudes:

Salta 1152 metres

Cafayate 1683 metres
