Contrary to what I read in my guide book, you can NOT fly from Salta to Bariloche in the south. You must fly first to Buenos Aires and then pick up a another flight. No wonder flying is expensive in that part of the world.
You can save a lot of money by shopping around the various airlines offices in Salta. We tried Aerolineas Argentinas and Southern Winds as shown in Lonely Planet. Both seemed costly and (worse!) required a layover in Buenos Aires for the night before picking up the Bariloche leg of the journey the next morning. Luckily, we stumbled across the American Falcon office in Salta. It was cheaper than the other two and did not require a lengthy layover.
This 'mystery' airline turned out to be OK. Our 2 flights were uneventful and we wouldn't hesitate to fly with them again. I would however, be very careful of their lunch. A nice tender piece of beef covered with a really nasty fish smelling gravey. Whoa! That was bad.
TIP: The taxi from the Plaza 9 de Julio to the airport was 8 pesos (less than $3US) for two. The airport was pretty new and very clean. Restrooms very nice. As usual in airports, the food was expensive. A cup of coffee (Nescafe) was 3.5P. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplaneOther Contact: Office on Plaza 9 de Julio

Most visitors reach Salta by bus, it has lots of good connections to all directions, the bus from Buenos Aires takes about 22 hours, many buses per day to Jujuy etc. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Trains in Argentina are no travel option - except in the surroundings of Buenos Aires. Most railways were laid down under the last decades. But an interesting railway connects Salta with Socompa in Chile. Under the very dry winter season a special tourist train ("train to the clouds") is going from Salta up the mountains close to the highest point (more than 4000 m above sea level) and back again. It is quite an expensive experience. The other option on the same route is to try to get a ride on a cargo train to Socompa in Chile but that seems to be sometimes difficult and the trains are passing the most interesting parts of this route during the night.

There slogan : travel different with the "Movi Track" transporter
The particular condition of the mountain roads in northern Argentina and traveling with those special types of vehicles must be a unique style of traveling. In fact a rolling hotel with 24hr service and all facilities.
The central booking agency is located in Salta. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Its colors are wonderful!
The temple has valuable works of art, among which the image of Nuestra Señora de las Nieves stands out. It is said that it was the first image of the Virgin that arrived at this city; a San Pedro of Alcántara - attributed to the celebrated sculptor and Spanish architect Alonso Cano and a painting of Saint Francis that some specialists attribute to Pitti others to Zurbarán. There is also a small museum where works of interest are preserved.
The library of the convent possesses magnificent incunabula and very old editions of great value. The church San Francisco was declared National Historical Monument in 1941. Leave a Comment

This magnificent temple was built in 1858, and it replaced the old Cathedral, damaged by a fire. The façade with friezes and cornices is framed in a classic Italian style. It has three naves and it possesses an exuberant ornamentation.
In the temple in the Vault of the Glories of the North - declared National Historical Monument in 1941 -, rest General Martín de Güemes and Antonio de Arenales and Mrs. Martina of Gurruchaga. The Cathedral Basilica was declared National Historical Monument in 1947. Leave a Comment
