Love any feedback. Am doing my due diligence in reading research but nothing like impressions from fellow FTers.

Dede-- I would suggest forgetting the driving. Its a lot of ground to cover, and Spanish skills will be pretty much critical. Traveling by land is an outstanding choice, however, but I would strongly suggest you think about hiring a car with a driver in the main locations you will visit. Off the top of my head, 7 days for all the places you mention may be a little to rich, I suggest you either add a couple of more days to the itin or think about taking out one location.
For Salta, I suggest you consider staying one or two nights at Colome Estate. Its the winery owned by Donald Hess, he has a beautiful place there.
