Circuits, hotels, excursions and transfers in Salta.
Salta is the capital of the province of the same name and the main gateway to northwest Argentina. Its historic centre, around Plaza 9 de Julio, preserves colonial buildings such as the Cabildo and the cathedral, and the city is completed by churches, museums and a gastronomic and peña life deeply rooted in northern tradition.
In a programme it is the natural base for visiting the Calchaquí Valleys and Cafayate, the Quebrada de Humahuaca and the high-altitude landscapes of the northwest, as well as a city in which to spend a day or two in its own right.
The most comfortable time to travel the northwest is the dry season, from autumn to spring, with sunny days and cold nights in winter. Summer (November–March) brings rains, above all in the afternoon, which may affect roads and gorges. For high-altitude excursions, weather and acclimatisation should be taken into account.
Salta is a meetings venue of moderate size, with a diverse hotel offer and spaces for corporate events, although it is not a destination for large congresses. It is suited to small and medium-sized meetings and incentive groups that take advantage of the cultural and gastronomic richness and the excursions to the valleys. Capacity should be validated for each date.
Credible incentive experiences include a walk through the historic centre and a visit to the Museum of High Altitude Archaeology, dinners with folklore at peñas, the cable-car ascent of Cerro San Bernardo, days at high-altitude wineries and excursions to the Quebrada de las Conchas. The mix of culture, landscape and regional gastronomy offers programmes of great variety.
It is reached via Martín Miguel de Güemes airport (SLA), with domestic air connections; from the city the routes leave for Cafayate and the Calchaquí Valleys, for Cachi and for the Quebrada de Humahuaca via Jujuy. Distances to the destinations in the interior are long in road time, so full days should be planned.
Plan 2 nights in Salta and between 2 and 4 more for the Cafayate and Quebrada de Humahuaca circuit. Attracts cultural, nature and wine-tourism travellers from the region and long-haul markets. It is usually combined with Buenos Aires, Iguazú or the Andes circuit, and multi-day excursions should be booked in advance.
Recommended stay: 2 nights in the city, plus those required by the northwest circuit.
Access via Martín Miguel de Güemes airport (SLA) and by road towards the valleys and the Quebrada.
Dry, sunny winter with cold nights; warmer summer with rains.
The city is at a moderate altitude; excursions to the puna and the valleys climb considerably higher.
Combines with Cafayate, the Quebrada de Humahuaca and Jujuy.
