WHAT TO DO IN SALTA?
Salta's night is a box of surprises. It does not matter that we have made long and vital walks during the day: you never stop going out to dinner and witness one of the clubs that offer the most authentic of the Salta tradition.
.
While savoring the regional foods of this friendly land, the instrumental and vocal sounds of excellent Salta artists invite you to follow the rhythm with a handkerchief, napkin or feet.
There are always new alternatives to get to know Salta, la Linda (means "The Beautiful"). In this case, a very new one: Tourist Bus Salta, which allows you to get to know the most beautiful city in northern Argentina.
Salta, “la Linda”, lights up when night comes. Each walk renews its charm when the moon rises. The main square, its cafes, Balcarce street and the magic of the casino. The night invites you to enjoy.
Empanadas, humita, locro, huaschalocro and tamales are the traditional foods of the Northwest of the country, but in each region, in each restaurant, in each house they have a particular preparation. More paprika, more fat, less spicy, with potato or sweet potato; each cook adds his personal touch even with the same elements.
The Christian faith of the Salta people and a religious event that occurred in the nineties gave rise to a procession that is repeated weekly.
After the apparition of the Blessed Virgin to a lady of the community, a chapel was installed in Tres Cerritos, attended by the Catholic faithful.
Since then, an infinite movement of men and women from all walks of life, arriving by buses and cars from distant parts of the country, has marched to the sanctuary to participate in a day of meditation and prayer that Mrs. MarÃa Livia in person offers on behalf of of the Immaculate Mother of the Divine Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.
Climbing the mountain by train from 1,187 meters in the city of Salta to a height of 4,200 meters above sea level in La Polvorilla and getting to know this route inch by inch is a challenge, and an unmissable destination. Salta counts again with this service, and a magical trip to the clouds.
The new High Mountain Archeology Museum displays an invaluable archaeological find discovered on the summits of the Llullaillaco volcano, one of the settings chosen by the Inca culture for their ritual ceremonies.
La Casona del Molino is the Salta corner where friends, guitars and drums meet to enjoy a true local destination, and an expression of our customs.
Luis Burela 1's door is closed, but some of the bustle inside is heard. As soon as we open it, the spirit of the house envelops us.
It's early and there are some busy tables here and there. The photographs, especially of Salta poets like Manuel Castilla, the pictures hanging on the walls, the wooden bar, in each environment you can breathe the Salta culture, encounters populated by guitars and folklore until dawn.
An exquisite summer village, San Lorenzo invites you to relax contemplating its greens. To discover the valley of Lerma and the surroundings of Salta, nothing better than a quiet horseback ride.
Summer naps in Salta leave the city immobile, suspended in the heat. Nothing better than escaping to the town of San Lorenzo , with its leafy paths and restorative shadows.
For hikes, bike rides, ATV tours or photographic safaris through the montane jungle, San Lorenzo is ideal. In addition to its ravine, the microclimate that combines exuberant vegetation, fresh air and clear waters, as well as its historical and natural richness invite you to return again and again.

From the old town hall, the Historical Museum of the North keeps true treasures of indigenous culture and the colonial period in Salta. It is one of the most important museums in the country due to the richness of its heritage, which summarizes centuries of Argentine and South American history. Located on one side of the 9 de Julio square, in what used to be the town hall, today he observes impassively the busy people of Salta who cross his "recova". For this reason, when we crossed the threshold, the silence of its courtyards inevitably transported us to another atmosphere.
