PROVINCE OF SALTA

Because of its history and natural beauty, Salta is one of the most popular provinces of the country. Its success as a tourist destination is guaranteed by an important hotel and service structure, together with a net of roads which allow easy access to every corner of the province.

Its wine-making industry is internationally famous, and its rich cuisine displays sweet and salty dishes, such as cheese and corncob, humitas (sweet tamales), carbonadas (meat stew), cayote jam and exquisite empanadas (meat pies).
