It is a very scenic place with loads to do including its surrounding areas. Most tours can be booked as day trips from Salta which makes it really easy to manage allowing one to do quite alot in the time that you are there from wine tours, trekking, horse riding, scenic day trips and loads more.close

The only negative thing I have to say about Salta is don´t be fooled into getting a car and going to one of the beautiful drives they recomment.The road to the "Tren de los nebes" is defo not worth it.The scenery is nice for the first 50 kms but then there is absolutely nothing to see as far as...more The only negative thing I have to say about Salta is don´t be fooled into getting a car and going to one of the beautiful drives they recomment.The road to the "Tren de los nebes" is defo not worth it.The scenery is nice for the first 50 kms but then there is absolutely nothing to see as far as San Antonio de los Cobres and the road is farily bad in parts.close
