The Province of Salta boasts a mild climate and the perfect charms to be chosen as a tourist destination year round. In addition to its natural beauties -which may be appreciated in the different regions it features-, the diversity of its denizens dazzles whoever comes along to learn about its traditions and customs, some of them secular.
The City of Salta is ideal to stay, enjoy and walk around. Museums, churches, historical buildings, squares and cafés, as well as other sights, give evidence of the colonial influence, appreciated in its architecture and in one of the most jealously guarded historical shells in Argentina. There is no doubt that the past is carefully preserved at this location.
To the West, lies the Andes Mountain Range and the Puna, with the incredible viaduct known as La Polvorilla and the famous Tren de las Nubes (Train to the Clouds).
To the South, the valleys known as Calchaquíes.
To the North, the area called Chaco Salteño, whose endless green hues are reminiscent of the rainforest in Misiones.
Apart from its unique scenes, its excellent cuisine is revealed in flavors, colors and aromas typical of this part of the world. Cumin is gold in these latitudes and the kindness of the people is manifest in their locros, tamales and empanadas, also part of this incredible treasure.
Likewise, the land beyond the city of Salta offers paradisiacal options.
Nearby destinations as Cachi and Cafayate, or more distant ones like Salinas Grandes and the road that leads to them, are tours known worldwide which provide enough reasons for tourists to stay longer.
