SECLANTAS

An ample choice of attractions is what Salta has to offer to travellers choosing to visit it. The enormous extension of its territory makes possible the coexistence of the most variegated weathers and landscapes during all the year: from the almost endless spring of the city and its surrounding area, to the strong cold of the Puna highlands and the tropical heat of Salta's Chaco Border area.

Its landscapes are endless and go from the highlands' arid soil, to the lavish vegetation of the forest in the northern part of the province, where up to 50 different species of trees per hectare are found, along with hundreds of different birds flying before the red colours of the Calchaquí valleys' mountains.

At every destination within the province, travellers will find that the urban scenery and the rural landscape are the vigorous examples of the province's personality, thrillingly munificent and beautiful.

Capturing the essence of the place, blending with the local people, getting impregnated with their smiles, expressions and habits, is one of the best ways of discovering the uniqueness of moment.

That is why Salta conjugates nature and traditions with history. Travelling throughout its circuits is the only way to get to really know it, with routes designed to cover every place of interest.

There is a very updated lodging infrastructure comprised by hotels, lodging houses, cabins and ranch houses, adapted to whatever particular preferences the traveller might have or desire. Moreover, these establishments have upgraded the tourist package offering adventure tourism, alternative sports, tours and every travel service possible.

Besides, there are the squash gruel, the meat pies, the salty tamales, the sweet humitas, barbecues and asado pit steaks. Discovering the secrets and historical habits by the aromas, the cooking ways and the looks of the Salta dishes, is another way of introducing oneself into the heart of Salta.

The famed hospitality of the province is an historical tradition which is imprinted in the travel logs of those who have visited the province during the past centuries. This tradition is still full of life nowadays. That is why the people of Salta await visitors expectantly, to show them all their natural and cultural treasures; and tell them all about their history while tasting a meat pie at the foot of a mud oven, with a glass of Cafayate wine in their hands.
