Salta, nature constitutes an
explosion of colors that multiply
in hills and ravines. However, not
only is it a city offering nature
to enjoy, but it is also tinged
with history; more history than
most of the rest of Argentine
cities. It was one of the first
settlements to be founded, and the
chosen home of affluent families
related to Alto Perú. This is the
reason its streets are a true
treasure, crowded with colonial
constructions, churches and
monuments.

streets of this thriving city full
of colorful gardens and fragrant
tress. You will revive the
colonial past in the architecture
of its historical Cabildo (town
hall), the cathedral and old
huoses. the, we could observe from
the "Cerro San Bernardo"
(St Bernard Hill) a panoramic view
of de city.
Then a few kilometers away, betwen
green mountains and crystal water
rivers there is San Lorenzo, a
summer town of old trees and
flowery gardens, with large
mansions, picture hills and smooth
hillocks. An ideal place to enjoy
long walks, horse riding and
picnic refreshments. Coming back,
On your way back, you will make
the insurmountable stop at the
Mercado Artesanal (handcrafts
market), where you will not resist
the variety of souvenirs in
display they offer, you ^ll be

Cachi, wrapped in multicoloured sierras and blessed by the Calchaquí River, Cachi is a balsam to the spirit. Located 157 kilometres away from the City of Salta, and 165 from Cafayate, it is a picturesque town of narrow pitted streets, in the middle of a valley of fertile lands and surrounded by alfalfa and red pepper plantations, which, when drying in the sunshine, constitute a flashy and colourful scenery.
One of the main attractions is the Museo Arqueológico, located at the Cacique Juan Calchaquí street, which opens Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Pottery objects made by the ancient Pulare people, who inhabited the region before the Spaniards, can be admired. It is facing the plaza as is usual in an urban layout of colonial style. Its construction began in the middle of the 18th century, and was the private prayer chapel of the Aramburu family during those years. Father De la Zerda had its façade refurbished around 1884. The façade we currently know is from 1947.
