Salta is the largest city in northwest Argentina and definitely an interesting place to include on the itinerary when touring Argentina.

My suggestion

I recommend spending two full days visiting Salta and using the city as a base from which to explore the beautiful surrounding area, from Cafayate to the south to Quebrada de Humahuaca and Iruya, which lie to the north.

Salta la Linda is a town in north Argentina, at an altitude of 1,200 metres in the Lerma valley. It really is very pretty, having managed to keep its colonial architecture, and its typically colourful surroundings are worth exploring!

My suggestion

The atmosphere is very relaxed, the locals are very open and love talking to you. If you go to the market around lunchtime you are certain to meet someone!

My suggestion

If you want to experience a proper "folkloric" peña with really talented musicians and singers then you should spend the evening at Casona del Molino. One of my favourite spots in the whole of Argentina.
