Salta Province

A top tourist province in northwestern Argentina, where colonial towns, highland canyons and high-altitude wines complement one another.

Salta Province lies in northwestern Argentina, stretching from subtropical forest in the east to the Andean plateau in the west. The capital, Salta, is a well-preserved colonial city with the High Mountain Archaeology Museum and the San Bernardo Hill cable car. In the south, Cafayate is known for its high-altitude vineyards and Torrontés white wine, reached via the Quebrada de las Conchas; the town of Cachi and the Train to the Clouds route are also popular. Spring and autumn are the best times to travel, while summer is the rainy season. The gateway is Salta International Airport.
