Things to do in Salta

Salta, Argentina is a beautiful city to discover with its perfectly preserved colonial architecture and its stunning natural landscapes. This wondrous city lies just at the base of the Andean mountains, which allows comfortable weather conditions all year round and gives you the possibility to see a variety of landscapes from magnificent mountains, picturesque open fields to vast desert plains.Salta was conquered by the Spanish in the late 16th century, hence the heavy Spanish colonial influence in the city’s architecture, but there are still some traces of the Incan culture that flourished before the reign of the Spanish empire. Some of the main attractions that are a must see in Salta are the Andean mountains, Cathedral of Salta, the Salta Tram, Plaza 9 de Julo, El Tren a las Nubes, Andean Humahuaca, El Museo de Arqueologia de Alta Montana de Salta, and not to mention the town of Salta itself!
