Nestled in the Lerma Valley at the foothills of the Andes, Salta is a city with a unique character, where colonial architecture and Andean landscapes come together. Known as “Salta la Linda” (Salta the Beautiful), it enchants visitors with its historic churches, vibrant markets, and cobbled streets lined with well-preserved colonial buildings. The region is a gateway to Argentina's famous wine country, offering scenic drives through the Calchaquí Valley with stops at high-altitude vineyards, particularly known for their exceptional Torrontés wine.

Salta’s surrounding landscapes are equally breathtaking, with the multicoloured mountains of Quebrada de Humahuaca and the surreal rock formations of Quebrada de las Conchas just a short drive away. For adventure seekers, Salta offers opportunities for trekking, mountain biking, and exploring local villages rich in indigenous culture. The city’s main square, Plaza 9 de Julio, is the heart of Salta, surrounded by attractions like the MAAM Museum, home to well-preserved Inca mummies. Salta’s culinary scene offers traditional flavours, with empanadas salteñas and locro (a hearty stew) being must-try dishes. With its blend of natural beauty, history, and rich culture, Salta is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the heart and soul of Argentina’s northwest.
