Salta is the selected jumping-off point for travelers seeking to explore the North of Argentina. From here, you can visit the most outstanding natural monuments of the area: the Humahuaca Gorge or the Seven Colours Hill in Jujuy, a bordering province worldwide famous too.
Salta has it all: the geographical diversity (red, green and brown tinted mountains) and the vast history—Is in these time-honored lands that men fight for the freedom of Argentina. The colonial architecture, the alive cafés in the main plaza (great people watching spot) and the vibrant and authentic peñas, places where locals grab a table to watch their favorite folkloric singers, and after a wine (or two) everyone join for dancing.
Upon arrival you will be driven to your hotel. Take the rest of the afternoon to explore the city. Bare in mind that this is a stress-free hub: la siesta (nap) is kind of a religious ritual for locals, which means that between 1 pm till 5 pm shops are usually closed.
