| Argentina 4WD, Medoza to Salta | |
| Mendoza to Salta in 4x4. | |
|
This fantastic trip takes in the most beautiful scenery Argentina has to offer. The shear variety of landscapes is utterly breathtaking. Sultry vineyards, high altitude deserts, salt flats, jungles, toweing mountain ranges, bright red valleys, thick cloud forest... every day the scenery will be changing! Vibrant Andean communities and colonial cities give this tour a fascinating cultural angle, which added to the scenery makes this challenging trip one of the most rewarding in South America. |
