Hotels in Salta

Known as “Salta la Linda” for its natural beauty and colonial architecture, this city at the foot of the Andes is considered one of the cradles of Argentine folklore, and a great starting point for visiting the Calchaquí Valleys, the wineries of Cafayate or the Quebrada de Humahuaca.

A colonial jewel

Salta can boast of being the Argentine city that has best preserved its colonial architecture. Plaza 9 de Julio, the historic and social centre, is surrounded by iconic buildings such as the Cabildo, the Cathedral Basilica of Salta or the Church of San Francisco, whose red façade and 54-metre tower appear on many of the city's postcards. Do not forget to visit the Museum of High Mountain Archaeology, take a ride on the famous Train to the Clouds, try typical food at the San Miguel Market or visit Cerro San Bernardo to enjoy panoramic views of the Lerma Valley. Calle Balcarce, packed with bars, restaurants and folk music venues, is the epicentre of Salta's nightlife.
