Visit Salta


Salta is a beautiful city located in northwestern Argentina. It's known for its Spanish colonial architecture, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes. One of the most popular tourist attractions in Salta is the Iglesia San Francisco de Asis, a breathtaking Baroque-style church that dates back to 1736. Nearby, you can explore the Museum of High Mountain Archaeology which houses artifacts from Incan settlements in the area.

If you're looking for outdoor activities in Salta, be sure to visit Cerro San Bernardo - an iconic mountain overlooking the city - or take a stroll through El Balcarce Park to admire its lush greenery and blooming flowers. Other noteworthy historical sites include Cabildo de Salta (the old town hall) and General Guevara Square which served as a location for many important events during Argentine independence from Spain.

Salta also has an interesting history: it was founded by Spanish colonists in 1582 on top of an ancient Incan settlement called 'Shilawta'. The city was destroyed by indigenous forces during rebellions against Spaniards until it was reconstructed at its current location in 1682 with more defensive measures to protect against further invasions.
