Salta – Argentina

A Lost Taxi Driver, Consolation Empanadas, and Horses

View over Salta from Cerro San Bernardo.

Salta was something of a flying visit for us. We were keen to press on to San Pedro de Atacama quite quickly, so allowed ourselves only a few of days to explore.

On our first day proper in Salta we looked around the town. It’s beautiful in places, with some fantastic architecture. We also took the cable car up to Cerro San Bernardo, enjoying panoramic views of the city amidst some slightly dated artificial water features. We then descended on foot.
