Plaza 9 de Julio : The Colonial Heart of Salta A must-see starting point for any visitor, Plaza 9 de Julio is the city’s lifeblood and a living testament to its colonial splendour. Surrounded by historic recesses and lush trees of white and pink flowers, this square stands out for its vibrant atmosphere and impeccable architecture.

The Historical Cabildo : The most complete and best preserved in the country, which today houses the Northern Historical Museum.
History Museum of the North
  • 15m
The Historical Cabildo: A Journey to the Colonial Past Located in front of Plaza 9 de Julio, the Cabildo de Salta is the most complete and best preserved colonial-era government building in Argentina. With its unmistakable tower and elegant two-storey archway, this National Historic Monument takes you straight back to the 18th century. Why is this a must-see? Unique Architecture : Admire its adobe walls, tile roofs and internal courtyards that retain the original design of the viceroyal era. Historical Museum of the North: Inside, you can tour rooms dedicated to the history of the region, with a priceless collection of sacred art, antique furniture and historic carriages. Panoramic Views: Its balconies offer one of the best perspectives to photograph the Plaza 9 de Julio and the Cathedral.
Cerro San Bernardo
  • 20m
Cerro San Bernardo : The Natural Balcony of Salta Cerro San Bernardo is the guardian of the city and the quintessential panoramic point of Salta. Rising to 1,454 metres above sea level, it offers the most striking and complete view of the Lerma Valley and the colonial layout of the Salta capital.
Monumento al Gral. Martin Miguel de Guemes
  • 15m
Monument to General Güemes: Tribute to the Hero Gaucho At the foot of San Bernardo Hill stands one of the most powerful symbols of Salta identity: the Monument to General Martín Miguel de Güemes. This imposing stone and bronze structure pays tribute to the province’s top hero, leader of the “Gaucha War” and keystone in Argentine independence.
Quebrada de San Lorenzo
  • 20m
Quebrada de San Lorenzo: An Oasis of Jungle and Freshness Just 15 minutes from the Salta capital, the Quebrada de San Lorenzo invites you to immerse yourself in a fascinating ecosystem: the Yungas or mountain forest. This corner stands out for its cool microclimate and lush vegetation where ferns, lianas and centuries-old trees covered in moss create a magical and relaxing landscape.
El Castillo de San Lorenzo
  • 15m
Saint Lawrence Castle: A European Dream in the Yungas In the middle of the lush mountain forest, stands the Castillo de San Lorenzo, an imposing building of the late 19th century that breaks with the traditional landscape of northern Argentina. With its stone tower and unmistakable Florentine style, this architectural gem seems to be drawn from a European fairytale and moved to the heart of the Salta Yungas.
