Tour description
Salta, known affectionately as 'Salta la Linda' (Salta the Beautiful), is the most gracious colonial city in northern Argentina, set in a green Andean valley and famous for its well-preserved churches, plazas and pink colonial buildings. Rich in Andean and Spanish heritage, it is a delight to explore. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its charm.
You will stroll the elegant Plaza 9 de Julio, admire the pink cathedral and colonial churches, and hear about the north's Andean culture and independence history. Along the way you will discover the flavours and traditions of the region. Beautiful and historic, Salta is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
