At 1190 m above sea level, Salta enjoys a beautiful balmy climate, almost year round.

The ornate Neo-classical church as well as the generous handfuls of colonial architecture make Salta a handsome city.

Among the many treasures of Jujuy province is the bleak but beautiful altiplano, the remote adobe villages and the brightly coloured gorge of the Quebrada de Humahuaca.

El Rey National Park is an expanse of cloud-forest, hidden to the east of Salta.

This whole region is undoubtedly one of the highlights of Argentina for its combination of spectacular landscapes and intriguing culture.
