Salta City\u202f(locally known as La Linda -The Beautiful)\u00a0in the Andean foothills,\u00a0is the capital of the province and\u00a0is home to\u00a0Argentina’s best-preserved colonial architecture. The narrow streets and charming plazas of the city remain as quiet and gracious as they have existed for centuries.\u00a0It is also the\u00a0perfect base for your adventures in Northwest Argentina.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the picturesque mountain valley Quebrada de Humahuaca lies the dusty and enchanting town of Tilcara. With traces of human habitation that date back more than 10,000 years, Tilcara is one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in Argentina. The town\u2019s rich indigenous culture and the dramatic mountains that surround it make this little town a must-visit destination. You can explore the pre-Inca fortification ruins, built in the 12th century by the Omaguaca tribe. Wander around the ancient dwellings and the town square, while you learn about how this indigenous tribe lived. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The train, much like Salta, moves at a leisurely pace. Chugging along at only 35km per hour, this three hour journey from San Antonio de los Cobres to the end point at Viaducto La Polvorilla (and back again) takes you through arid landscapes and places of geological wonder, all of which can be appreciated fully thanks to the meandering nature of the train. On the journey you will need to pop your ears as the train climbs to its highest point at 4300m! Yes, the altitude is noticeable, but how else are you going to get the best views of the region around Salta?\u202f <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The province\u00a0of Salta\u00a0is characterized by vastly diverse terrain such as the fertile valley of the capital, the polychrome canyons of Cafayate, and the desolate plateaus of La\u00a0Puna.\u00a0The incredible colours and the inverted-V shaped formations\u00a0are\u00a0part of the limestone formation called\u00a0Yacoraite\u00a0that extends from Peru, through Bolivia,\u00a0all the way\u00a0to Salta.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A legendary site in the small town of Purmamarca is the\u202fCerro de los Siete Colores\u202f(Hill of the Seven Colours). The Hill of Seven Colours is one of the most picturesque sights on the planet. The beautiful hill’s layers show different geological periods dating back millions of years. <\/p>\n

Nearby is the multicoloured landscape that is called Paleta del Pintor (The Painter’s Palette), named after its view of the multi-coloured surrounding mountains. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Most impressive is Serran\u00edas del Hornocal, or simply\u202fEl Hornocal. This range of dramatic multicoloured hills (they say it has at least 14 different shades) reach an altitude of 4761 meters above sea level. El Hornocal is a must-see for anyone visiting Argentina, yet quite shockingly, remains unknown to most travellers on the tourist circuit. You may be surprised to know that this geological wonder has only risen in notoriety in the last 10 years – before that, not even the locals in Jujuy knew about it!\u202f <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Most people know about Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, but did you know that Argentina has its own salt flats too? The vast Salinas Grandes (Great Salt Flats) is the 3rd largest salt flat in the world, stretching over Salta and Jujuy in northwest Argentina. Besides the strikingly beautiful and bright salt plains, Salinas Grandes\u2019s most unique feature has to be the turquoise blue pools that provide\u202flots of\u202fopportunities for creative photography. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Further south, Parque Nacional Los Cardones takes its name from the \u2018card\u00f3n grande cactus\u2019, the park\u2019s dominant and spectacular plant species. This is gorgeous high-desert territory where thousands of cacti stand tall (up to 10m!) at elevations that eclipse 3000m.\u202fIn the treeless Andean foothills, the card\u00f3n has long been an important source of timber for rafters, doors, windows and more (you’ll see it often in the region\u2019s traditional buildings.) Adventure into the wild with literally cacti for as far as the eyes can see! <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
