Just out of curiosity how or with who did you book your Salta trip with? And is it far to the salt flats from Salta? I really wanna check it out when I am over in BA.

We went to Salta on the bus from Cordoba, although you can do it from BA too, it's about 19 hours though! You can book at Retiro Terminal de Omnibus or take a look at http://www.omnilineas.com/
