Salta was good, it´s a really nice city, although was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. I did quite a few a things there.... Day 1 evening: Arrived to Salta in the evening and went exploring. Found a choripan stall (meaty hot dogs that I love) which was great so I had two for dinner! It´s really hard to find choripan stalls, everyone her...

I joined Roos again in Salta but not at the hostel that I booked. At the last moment she found a couchsurfer to stay with, Horacio, a very nice and generous guy who funnily enough knew a bit of Dutch and had hosted some Flemish and Dutch people so we felt at home with him straight away. Salta (and therefore also staying at Horacio's) was so rela...

Day 82: November 4, 2007 In Salta We spent a lazy morning in the apartment-lazier for Elena than for me. I wrote while she slept in. Around noon, we loaded up our laundry and caught a cab to the lavandería. After dropping our load off, we walked toward Jovi for lunch. I'd noticed another restaurant on Rivadavia between 20 de Febrero and Balcarce...

Day 9: August 23, 2007 In Salta I updated my journal and let Elena sleep in while I went down to the XR office to try to put together a circular for my course at UNSa. Claudia was there and gave me a basic outline of what should be included. It was fairly easy to put together and I emailed it off to Berta within an hour. I also sent emails to Si...

A one day visit to the town of Salta, everyone keep telling me to stay 3 to 4 days and i'm not sure what for, a 2 day could cover Salta unless you visit other towns. A colonial city that had a few intresting buildings and a Gondola to a small hill. Saludos.

Again, we´d booked ahead and were met at the bus station and driven straight to the hostel. We´d been told good things about the social backpacker scene in Salta and assumed it seemed quiet because we´d been put into the ´double room` hostel of ´Backpackers Soul`. Again we had a TV and en suite and unlike at Iguazu we fully utilized them, regula...

Up in the north the city of Salta is waiting for me. This region of Argentina is famous for its indian inhabitants and also for its far more traditional lifestyle than the one in the rest of the country. Also it is a good base to start daily trips from but right now i am more worried about the question of what i am going to eat tonight. Now that...

ok.... so we are still alive after a hair raising ride into salta. at the advice of some locals, we decided to hitch our way to salta...... but we managed to find ourselves in a car with three young guys who thought driving was a video game. we hooned around the windy mountain road getting up to 150kms and overtaking on corners, matias and i bot...

Salta la linda, y no me estraña, es preciosa y llena de bonitos edficios y gente. Argentina dice que sus mujeres mas bonitas son la cordobesa, la tucumana y la salteña, y a nuestro parecer es verdad ( de los chicos que opine nuchi....). Pero bueno, en nuestro plan de viaje las ciudades grandes no son las mas intersantes y despues de recabar info...

We spent a few nights camping in a canyon just outside Salta, Argentina. The camping spot was beautiful just beside the river and there was loads of activities to do out there, horseriding, canopying, white water rafting. We had a party there with all the crazy local guides on the first night which was heaps of fun and then I went canopying the ...
