Short description of Salta
Salta is one of Argentina’s most beautiful historic cities and a cultural center of the country’s subtropical northwest. Known as “Salta la Linda” (Salta the Beautiful), the city is renowned for its colonial architecture, magnificent churches, lively squares, traditional markets, distinctive folklore, and regional cuisine. Salta combines historic charm with authentic local life and the warm culture of northwestern Argentina. Surrounded by spectacular scenery, the city is also an important gateway to the Calchaquí Valleys and the vineyards of Cafayate, the colorful rock formations of the Quebrada de las Conchas, the high plateaus and salt flats of the Puna, and the Quebrada de Humahuaca in neighboring Jujuy Province.
