Salta

Salta is a city in the Lerma Valley, in northwestern Argentina, and the capital of the province of the same name. With around 619,000 inhabitants, it is the second largest city in the northwest, and it is famous in Argentina for its pleasant subtropical mountain climate. Its main attractions include the Cabildo (the old town hall from 1783) on Plaza 9 de Julio, now home to the Northern History Museum; the High Mountain Archaeology Museum (MAAM), which displays the three Inca "Children of Llullaillaco", some of the best-preserved mummies in the world; the 1796 San Francisco Church with its remarkable bell tower; and San Bernardo Hill, reached by cable car from San Martín Park or by climbing about 1,070 steps, with spectacular views over the city. The Anthropological Museum and the Pajcha museum of traditional arts, textiles and jewelry are also well worth a visit. Salta is also the starting point of the Train to the Clouds, a full-day mountain train journey that climbs to 4,220 meters above sea level through wild, ever-changing scenery.

Purmamarca

Purmamarca is a village in the Tumbaya department of the province of Jujuy. The Humahuaca Gorge was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003, increasing the interest of national and international travelers in the area. Its colonial style and the Hill of Seven Colors make it a fascinating destination in northern Argentina. Most local activity is linked to tourism, from handicrafts sold at the market on the main square to accommodation and tours. Besides the Hill of Seven Colors and the craft market, the village is the starting point for walks such as the Paseo de los Colorados and trips to Salinas Grandes, the Huachichocana archaeological site and Guayatayoc Lagoon, with its pink flamingos and wild geese.
