Salta
The provincial capital of Salta sits high in the Andes foothills of northern Argentina, in the Valle de Lerma, crossed by the Arenales river and close to the source of the Mojotoro. A large city and a significant cultural and tourism hub in the country's northwest, it serves both as a destination in its own right and as a base for exploring the region's landscapes and smaller towns.
