I suggest you research Angie Valdez by putting her name ("Angie") in TA's search feature here: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g294266-i977-Argentina.html

Have a great time in our country's NW.

Angie Valdez is a fine guide. Two additional guides, well reputed and who speak English well are:

David Salta = You can reach David, his nickname, at dalemartinez00@hotmail.com also through Casa Hernandez in San Lorenzo/Salta.

Tracy Johnson = email trips@northwestnomad.com
www.northwestnomad.com is a fine guide.

Thank you all for your replies.

I appreciate it.

I recommend:
Walter (Driver/Guide) Cell +54 9 387 4523300

Hello nomadfromcincy.

Have you used this person yourself? Do you have Walter's last name and E-mail address you could share with me, please?

Thanks very much.

Ross

Absolutely ask Angie - a wonderful person, great guide and more like travelling with a friend!!

Hello everyone.

I have been in contact with Angie but unfortunately she will be busy the days that I will be in Salta and Cafayate. Might anyone know of a guide based in Cafayate instead of Salta?

Thanks in advance.

Ross

Usually Angie recommends David Salta (see above posts) when she is busy, but I don't know where he is based. I would guess in Salta.

Hi avrooster.

I've also contacted David though he isn't available either.

Ross

I suggest you e-mail Angie for a third choice, newyorkais35.

I am sorry, but David has moved to Poland, I heard. And the english lady has also left Salta. I can recommend Adolfo, a great guide- You can contact him at delcastillorey@yahoo.com . He is a local guide, someone who has lived in the area for years and know the roads and everywhere very well!

Thank you, Angie!!!

Look here: http://www.private-guides.com/ They have a huge variety of private guides in South Amerika

What are the rates for a guide? Per day? How does it work?

thanks
