The Salta City Tour is ideal for newly arrived visitors, exploring this simultaneously colonial and modern city, known as "Salta La Linda" (Beautiful Salta). We'll admire its architecture, temples, and historic buildings.

We begin at 9 de Julio Square, the historic center of the city. We'll visit the Basilica Cathedral, the Cabildo (Town Hall), San Francisco Church, San Bernardo Convent, and Hernández House (now the City Museum).

We'll continue to the Artisan Market and the Monument to General Martín Miguel de Güemes, hero of Argentina's northern independence.

We'll conclude by taking the cable car up San Bernardo Hill to enjoy panoramic views of Lerma Valley.
