Travel Blogs from Salta, Argentina
Salta, Argentina Whoop!
This is a top pick! ... i to argentina and so far so good! We jumped on a 11 hour bus from Chile, hit up passport control and jumped into Argentina! Managed to smugle in some sarnies of salami and cheese we had made (no animall products over the border) but for ...
Tour du Argentina......12-15 Nov
This is a top pick! Friday, 12th November We finally arrive in Salta, Argentina at around 5am in the morning and dawn is just about to break. I had reserved a room at a hostal which was apparently close to the station, but as we arrive very tired and disorientated and ...
I've Found My People
This is a top pick! Salta Argentina is lovely - doesn't look like any part of South America that I have seen so far - westernized, European looking and completely lacking that 'south America' feel and colorful images. And.....popcorn and candy apples and my favorite ...
Reflections on Argentina
This is a top pick! ... but not charge foreigners - all they wanted was for us to sign their visitors' book. Not a bad country this. We like Argentina. Salta Cathedral We've now covered more than 3,000 miles and have passed another milestone for us: our previous longest ...
I was TOLD never...
This is a top pick! Now and then I follow some travel forums on the Internet, and I often see questions similar to the following (some of the questions posted may even be more specific, and not just ask about the length of a piece of string): "Will I be safe on my own ...
The return of Class 3
This is a top pick! ... We really don't know. It will depend on what we find along the way. How many countries have you been through? Only 2 countries: Argentina and Chile. We went into a small part of Chile at the beginning, but it has mainly been Argentina so far. We ...
Surviving siesta in Salta
This is a top pick! ... get a second chance to see the city. We caught an Andesmar bus...21 hours!!!....overnight, to the colonial city of Salta in northern Argentina. We liked Salta immediately. It has beautiful squares with tall, swaying palm trees, cobbled streets, ornate ...
Thwarted...
This is a top pick! ... if you do them with a silly, over-enthusiastic Spanish accent, here are the Top 5 words that are most fun to say: 5. Arriba 4. Chicito 3. ¡Hola! 2. Empanada 1. Gazpacho Argentina is far too expensive for my liking. Bolivia it ...
Arriving in Salta
This is a top pick! ... then decided to go with Novella Estrela (forgive spelling) that left at 13.15 and changed at about 18.00 at Resistencia. Arrived in Salta at about 7am next morning. Bus was good - reclining seats, meal included, not too cold (!), video in English so ...
Stuck in Salta doing some caramel pulling.
This is a top pick! ... Montevideo (I am sure you know, but it's a small world on the backpacker circuit). It's winter holiday in Argentina now, so the nightlife was great, and Salta is practically boiling. After waking up with a hangover a couple of days in a row, I just idled ...
Go West! A leisurely drive back to the Andes
This is a top pick! On the afternoon of Saturday 19 November, having spent a marvellous two days wildlife spotting on Peninsula Valdez, we dropped our travel companion Andrea off at the bus station in Puerto Madryn. We decided to take a leisurely drive west, back to the ...

Chilling in Salta
This is a top pick! Had a lie in this morning before reluctantly getting up for breakfast. Then wandered around a pretty quiet Salta as everything seems to shut today. Eventually found internet to do a mammoth blog update and check up on next bits of our trip, insurance ...
Salta, Argentina
This is a top pick! ... prices remained the same. BMWs and Volvo prices did double or even triple, but things produced within Argentina (e.g. steak) did not. The only major thing Argentinians noticed was the influx of tourists capitalizing on the ...
Change of plans!!
This is a top pick! ... purse strings! Anyway... we got on a bus from San Pedro de Atacama that took us over the order into Argentina, and then rode another 12 hours or so to Salta... Today, we got a cable car up to the highest point in the city to check out the views and ...
Paragliding in the Andes
This is a top pick! Today's adventure was paragliding in the Andes. Paragliding is a combination of hang gliding and sky diving. The glider looks like a big parachute but has the agility, speed, and flight ability of a hang-glider. And since it is ...
The Vegetarian's Nightmare
This is a top pick! ... the beef is and how much steak I am going to eat while here. And finally, I can now share the same story. Argentina is a vegetarian's nightmare!!! Every restaurant offers huge cuts of beef at bargain basement prices. And after many many months of chicken, ...
Back in Argentina
This is a top pick! Back in Argentina My bus from San Pedro was the most gringo-y I have so far experienced, about three quarters were backpackers heading to Salta too. Weirdly (or maybe not so weirdly considering I am not feeling particularly sociable this week), they ...
Softly softly Cachi monkey
This is a top pick! ... . And it was too blimmin' cold for veggies. The next day brought warm sunshine which was just as well as it was May 25th: Argentina's Revolution Day holiday and the town was hosting a biathalon. Men and boys of all ages - and one girl - competed in the ...
Argentina...the land of red meat & mate
This is a top pick! A suggestion...when you go to Argentina, you leave plenty of time...at least 6 days, for Salta. It's up in the northwestern corner of Argentina...there's lots of stuff happening right in town and the towns on the outskirts are naturally beautiful to ...
You can tell we´re not in Bolivia anymore!!
This is a top pick! ... ! Only kidding. The food was absolutely fantastic and we enjoyed every bit of it! I think we are going to enjoy our food in Argentina. We also had a bottle of wine with our meal and was force fed two desserts as well! The whole meal cost about £10! ...
Afternoon tea and empanada's in the square.
This is a top pick! We checked out of the hostel at 10.30am and stored our luggage until later. We walked down to the main plaza for another walk round, then dropped into a plaza side café for a drink. I had café con leche (milky coffee) and Lorna had a tea. We also had ...
Alphabeti spaghetti and a bowl of jelly
This is a top pick! ... the decision that we would take the cable car up to the top of San Bernardo Hill where there are uninterupted views of Salta, the Lerma valley and the Andes. It was approximately a 10 minute walk from Plaza de 9 Julio to the terminal ...
Cold heart, lukewarm liver
This is a top pick! Thankfully the next leg of our South America By Bus tour was the relatively short trip to the small Andean town of Cafayate. Like the journey up to Cachi this was a local a bus that wound round twisty mountain roads through magnificent desert scenery. ...
Salty tales from the desert
This is a top pick! ... temperature starts to bite and the brightest stars sparkle and pierce the dry desert air. Then Chile gave way to one more jaunt into Argentina, Salta to be exact. Already been here far too long, but one day I met an intrepid ( mad? ) cyclist called ...
The Elusive Beef Poisoning
This is a top pick! Well so far, beef poisoning here in Salta Argentina has eluded me. I take that as a sign I can eat as much steak as I want. And believe me, I am imbibing. The hostel has BBQ's every Wednesday and Saturday followed by some type of pub crawl to ...
Taffy Of The Valley
This is a top pick! ... of dryers! being as the weather was pretty wet it wasn´t encouraging. That evening was spent looking around town. This area of Argentina is best viewed on a long walk and the rain was starting to make it look likely that all plans for this area would be ...
Cattle, wine & getting high on a train
This is a top pick! ... orange truck, promptly exit said truck and start pushing. Safe to say that was not our coolest moment. We got to the town of Salta and checked into a hostel before exploring the city and cooked dinner for the group. The next day we booked a ticket on the ...
Under the Searing Salta Sun
This is a top pick! ... Arias and joined the paved RN 68 heading back into civilization and the cosmopolitan city of Salta. Although Salta has the reputation of being Argentina's best preserved colonial city, our first impressions on visiting the centre were not very ...
