Salta Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Nous partons le matin visiter la ville. De tres belles eglises plutot kitch en rose ou rouge et avec des bas-reliefs religieux en style inca. Puis nous allons a la grande attraction de la ville : le musee archeologique de la haute montagne. En effet il existe dans les ande pres de 200 sites archeologiques incas a plus de 5000 metres et notemment...

The city of Salta has a great way of making you feel welcome right off the bat. The bus station is big and clean and airy, the accommodation touts have special ID and are polite when you fob them off, there are signs saying the bathrooms are free, and you can even use the tables at its cafe without having to purchase a thing. Sweet. As we had ar...

Bolivian roads are really cool - just dirt tracks really, so the ride was often bumpy, but amazing views. At one point we drove down a dried up riverbed, which was cool. I decided to leave the group in Salta, a week early, so I got a chance to sit in the cab up front again and I went snap happy with views from the truck. We went through a lot of...

We arrived in Salta on Thursday after 20 grueling hours on 3 different buses from Colonia Pellegrini. Our first bus left at 4am and arrived in Mercedes at 8am. It was practically a school bus trekking down a washboard dirt road at about 20mph. We left Mercedes around 11am and took off for Corrientes, which took another 4 hours. We got there aro...

Day 52: October 5, 2007 Teaching In Salta For the first night in a week, the alarm at the restaurant next door didn't go off in the middle of the night! Toyo took Luchi, Elena, and me out to the University at 8:00. He let me out after we dropped the girls off at school. I went to give the exercise and exam to Ariel, for copying when, to my horro...

Day 22: September 5, 2007 In Salta Elena slept in since she had the morning off. I followed my routine of breakfast, CNN, and writing before going down to the office. The BC email was apparently down for the day. I spent the morning uploading fotos and tweaking the maps on my TravelPod blogs. After lunch, I started preparing for my Paleomagnetis...

Salta - the north of Argentina. There´s definitely more of an indigenous flavour here. As far as colonial cities go, maybe it's a jewel in the crown of Argentina, but compared to Cuzco-Peru, Antigua-Guatemala, Granada-Nicaragua, Potosi-Bolivia, the city seems a bit "bitsy-piecey". Not withstanding, Salta is a pretty city with some interesting mu...

Salta is right in the north of Argentina and is a gateway for travellers to Bolivia and Chile. Totally different than the other cities we visited as so much poorer and lots more indiginous people. As we boarded our bus in Mendoza for Salta we were sure our backpacks didn´t stand a chance of making it to Salta amidst all the chicken boxes, food a...

The chilean truckers dropped us off about 60km outside of salta where we spent the night and then found a remis taxi for 5 pesos to drop us off on a crowded street a few blocks away from the first hostal on our list. My first impressions were negative, just another crowded city filled with european looking argentinians, billboards and traffic. M...
