SALTA
SUBDESTINATIONS
An ample palette of attractions is what the Province of Salta has to offer travellers choosing to visit it. The enormous extension of its territory makes possible the coexistence of the most diverse weathers and landscapes all year round: from the almost everlasting spring of the city and its surrounding area, to the intense cold of the Puna highlands and the tropical heat of Salta's Chaco Border area.
Its landscapes are infinite and go from the highlands' arid soil, to the luxuriant vegetation of the forest in the northern part of the province, where up to 50 different species of trees per hectare can be found, along with hundreds of kinds of birds flying before the red colours of the Calchaquí valleys' mountains.
At each and every destination within the province, travellers will find that the urban scenery and the rural landscape are the most vigorous examples of the province's personality, thrillingly prodigal and beautiful.
Capturing the essence of the place, blending with the local people, getting impregnated with their smell, expressions and habits, is one of the best ways of discovering each unique moment.
That is why Salta conjugates nature, customs and history. Travelling throughout its circuits is the ideal way to get to know it, with routes designed to cover every spot of interest.
There is a lodging infrastructure comprised by hotels, lodging houses, cabins and ranch houses, adapted to the traveller's particular preferences, time sharing places. Moreover, these establishments have upgraded the tourist package offering adventure tourism, alternative sports, and tours and travel services in general.
Besides, there are the meat pies; the squash gruel, the salty tamales, the sweet humitas, barbecues and asado pit steaks. Discovering the secrets and historical habits by the aroma and the preparation and presentation of Salta's dishes, is another way of introducing oneself into Salta's core.
The province's hospitality is an historical tradition imprinted in the travel logs of those visiting the province during the past centuries. This tradition is kept intact nowadays. That is why the people of Salta await visitors in expectation to show them all of their natural and cultural wealth; and tell them all about their history while tasting a meat pie at the foot of a mud oven, accompanied by a nice wine from Cafayate.
