Highlights of Salta, Jujuy, and Northwest Argentina
Northwest Argentina is one of the country's most diverse regions, combining dramatic landscapes, living indigenous cultures, colonial heritage, and some of the most spectacular road journeys in South America. Located approximately 1,500 km (930 miles) northwest of Buenos Aires, the region includes the provinces of Salta, Jujuy, Tucumán, Catamarca, and La Rioja. Here, travelers can experience an extraordinary variety of environments, from the lush Yungas cloud forests to the high-altitude Puna plateau, colorful gorges, salt flats, vineyards, and traditional Andean villages. The region's cultural identity is equally rich, blending indigenous, colonial, and gaucho influences that remain deeply rooted in daily life.
The climate varies considerably according to altitude. The highlands are generally dry and sunny, while lower elevations and the Yungas forests are subtropical and greener. During the austral summer (December to March), rainfall is more frequent, especially in the valleys and jungle areas

What Our Travelers Say
TripAdvisor
My dream was to go to Patagonia. I was planning it for a long time but decided to find someone who could help me with it. I was assigned with Lucila and this is when my dream stared coming true. She was the most attentive, helpful, and caring person. Listened to every concern I had and paid attention to all my wishes regarding how I want this trip to be like. When the itinerary was ready and the trip booked, she made sure everything was going smoothly. While in Argentina, I can't think of anything that went not according to plan. All the trips, pick-ups, activities were perfectly planned and Lucila was always within reach in case I had any questions. Honestly, this trip was a dream come true and the service quality impeccable. Now, I can't imagine planning my next trip to Argentina with anyone else

Victoria at BA Travel organized the most incredible trip down to the smallest details and connected us to wonderful local guides where needed. She really went the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly and that is was the kind of trip that I would enjoy. I have traveled all over the world and have used a variety of services and I am so impressed with BA Travel and highly recommend them.

Enjoyable experience in Patagonia Beyond BA , especially Alvaro, our advisor, did a great job helping plan our itinerary in Patagonia. Alvaro was very responsive and gave us good insights/advices during the planning process. At the onset and everyday we received reminders/updates on our drivers and activities for the next day. The whole trip was arranged smoothly and local operators/guides and drivers were all reliable and helpful. We enjoyed our trip and will definitely use them again if I go back to Argentina.
I suppose that Beyond BA got its name… I suppose that Beyond BA got its name from the fact that its organization of trips is BEYOND any expectations one can imagine. Their professionalism is of the highest standards. Lucila (our contact) followed us from the very beginning throughout our journey with her support and advice. All the reservations, flights, guides were as scheduled. It was amazing. To everyone that wishes to visit Argentina, only one travel agency: Beyond.....
Victoria and the team were Exceptional!!! Every email I sent was promptly answered, bookings and payments made easy with Beyond BA and Victoria's professionalism. Highly recommended to book through Beyond BA. Our tour was to Patagonia for hiking and it was an amazing experience. Great value for money. One of the most organised I've been on. Only having to carry day packs on the hikes was a bonus and the camp grounds were comfortable and an experience in its self. There was 3 of us and Victoria secured us triple rooms when not camping. Can not recommend Beyond BA highly enough and Victoria, thank you
We had a fantastic time during the trip and everything was organised perfectly by Beyond BA. They gave us great advices on how to better organise the trip suggesting great locations. In particular our contact Alvaro was fantastic, he was always available for any doubts we had during the trip and we are very grateful for his help!
We enjoyed the interaction with the company, specifically Julieta... Very well organized. Very good guides and drivers.
