5.00Hiking to the Inca ruins was an unforgettable experience, thanks to my amazing guide Ale. Their passion and knowledge brought the ancient history to life, making every step a fascinating journey. The stunning landscapes were matched by Ale’s engaging storytelling and genuine care for our group. We felt like cherished friends rather than tourists, and their enthusiasm made the adventure truly magical.
Experience and unforgettable views

5.00What an experience! We didn't have much time in Salta so we were very lucky to find Poncho Tours. We chose to do the Inca Ruins in one day with Nick the owner and his knowledge about northern Argentina is amazing. Beautiful scenery along the entire route, if we had to rest a couple of times because but we would definitely do it all again.
Great hike, great guide!
