Salta’s colonial facades fade beneath bright red mountains. Dusty cowboy trails meander out of the city. Bizarre rocky pinnacles dominate the surroundings while evocative history stretches in many directions. 

Salta is an iconic destination, an enclave of strange tales and glorious scenery. You will spend a morning discovering vintage tales in the old city centre, from the 19th-century cathedral to indoor market. 

Then immerse yourself in the outdoors with a visit and tasting at one of the Cafayate vineyards. The wine is starting to rival Mendoza here and the red mountain backdrop makes for an elegant afternoon in the sun.
