Salta Travel Guide
Argentina
Salta is a city of 696,715 people in north-western Argentina. It is one of the country’s main urban centres in the north-west and sits inland, so it is not a coastal destination.
Most visitors arriving by air use Martin Miguel de Güemes International Airport, which serves the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Salta, so beach trips are not part of a stay here.
