Must-see attractions

Catedral Basilica de Salta

　　Salta’s pink cathedral was consecrated in 1878 and harbors the ashes of (among other notables) General Martín Miguel de Güemes, a salteño (resident of Salta) and independence hero. It's been a national monument since 1942, and looks spectacular when it's illuminated after dark. ...

Museo de Arqueología de Alta Montaña

　　One of northern Argentina's premier museums, MAAM has a serious and informative exhibition focusing on Inca culture and, in particular, the child sacrifices left on some of the Andes’ most imposing peaks. The centerpiece is the mummified body of one of three children (rotated every six months) discovered at the...

Pajcha – Museo de Arte Étnico Americano

　　This eye-opening private museum is worth seeing if you’re interested in indigenous art and culture.

Visitors can approach the handsome adobe building to admire its carved, 18th-century algarrobo-wood door and buy nun-made pastries. The church can be...

Iglesia San Francisco

　　This magenta-and-yellow church is Salta’s most striking. The exuberant facade is topped by a slender tower; inside are several venerated images, including the Niño Jesús de Aracoeli, a rather spooky crowned figure. There’s a lovely garden cloister, accessed via tours (English available; from 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 6:30pm...
