Getting to the Andean High Plateau is a travelers dream, from the north of Argentina to the border or Peru. In this trip you will begin the adventure in the vibrant capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires, an important gateway to South America. Then, you will go to beautiful Salta and explore the nice mountain surroundings, including wine region of Cafayate. Then, you will cross to Chile using the high mountain pass of Jama, reaching San Pedro de Atacama after a 7 hours trip. San Pedro is known for being one of the driest places on earth and for being a small village with a remarkable character. After exploring the area, you will go to Bolivia in 4WD cars driving with no visible roads among volcanoes, hot springs, colorful lagoons and salt flats until reaching Uyuni, the small town close to the famous Salt Flats. Reaching Uyuni, a bus will be taking you to La Paz the high big city of Bolivia, one of the countries with stronger original heritage in the continent. There, you will be able to visit the Tiwanaku ruins, one of the most important of Inca times. When the trip is finished you can fly back home or continue your travels to Peru, e few hours away.
