Buenos Aires is on any savvy traveler’s radar, but Salta is a hidden in gem in northwestern Argentina that you may or may not have heard of already. An up-and-coming travel destination and one of Argentina’s largest provinces, Salta boasts diverse terrain and a thriving wine country. Salta City, the capital of Salta province, is a charming, sophisticated city that boasts colonial architecture, outstanding museums, myriad parks, and European-style street side cafés.

Salta’s very safe in comparison to other South American cities and it is affordable to boot. You can eat a giant, juicy steak for well under $10, and there are accommodations available to suit just practically any budget. After exploring the cobbled streets of Salta la Linda (Salta the Beautiful), you’ll quickly recognize why the city has earned such a flattering nickname.

When to Go

The city of Salta is situated in a warm valley. Salta’s weather is temperate throughout the year because of its altitude (1200m). Try to avoid visiting Salta during July and August, however, because it gets very crowded with international tourists as well as Argentinians on winter vacation.

Other times of the year that you should avoid visiting Salta include January and February (summer vacation), Semanta Santa (Holy Week), and Christmas. The shoulder seasons of October to November and April to May are the best times to visit Salta because the weather is pleasant and there are virtually no crowds.

Here are 10 more tips for traveling to Salta, Argentina that will help you maximize your enjoyment of this enchanting city.

1. Taste the traditional foods of northwest Argentina

Much of northwestern Argentina’s traditional fare reflects its indigenous roots. Regional culinary specialties you can’t miss include locro, a hearty stew made with lentils, lamb meat, and spices, humitas, steamed corn cakes with cheese in a corn leaf wrapping, and empandas salteñas, small, baked turnovers containing meat or cheese.

2. Take the cable car to the top of Cerro San Bernardo

To enjoy panoramic views of Salta and the lush, green mountains that surround the city, take the teleferico, or cable car, to the top of Cerro San Bernardo. Once you reach the top, you can sip on coffee or tea at the café while enjoying the stunning views.

3. Watch a folkloric performance in Balcarce

Balcarce is Salta’s nightlife district, where you can watch the traditional folkloric performances that make Salta famous. La Vieja Estación is one of the top folkloric performance venues in the Balcarce district. Another famous and authentic folkloric performance venue in Salta is La Casona del Molino, where the performers go from table to table rather than perform on stage.

4. Ride the Tren a las Nubes, the third highest railway in the world

The Tren a las Nubes, or Train to the Clouds, is a train service that runs from April to November. The train travels from Salta to La Polvorilla, which is located 13,845 feet above sea level. The round trip journey takes 15 hours and allows visitors to admire the region’s stunning mountain landscapes and occasionally stop to explore quaint Andean villages.

5. See Inca mummies at the High Mountain Archaeological Museum (MAAM)

This controversial museum is a must-see for anyone visiting Salta. It displays the mummy of an Incan child from a sacred burial site that a National Geographic team excavated in 1999. Child sacrifice was a common practice in pre-Columbian cultures. Although three bodies were found at the site, only one mummy is displayed at a time at the museum. Several indigenous groups tried to prevent the children’s remains from going on display, but failed in their attempts.

6. Buy souvenirs at the Mercado Artesanal (Artisan Market)

Housed in a beautiful colonial building, the Artisan Market of Salta sells some of the best local arts, crafts, and traditional sweets at low prices. Artisan goods you can find at the market include alfajores (sweet cookie sandwich with a caramel filling), ponchos, blankets, purses, jewelry, and gourds for drinking yerba mate tea.

7. Sink your teeth into a tender, juicy steak for a fraction of what it would cost elsewhere

Beef is a staple in the Argentine diet and no omnivore’s trip to Salta is complete without savoring a large, tender steak. Anywhere else in the world, the kind of steak you can get in Salta would easily cost you up to 10 times more. Restaurants in Salta where you can count on getting a high quality steak include El Solar del Convento, Viejo Jack, and La Monumental.

8. Spend a Sunday afternoon in the 9 de Julio Square

The 9 de Julio Square is Salta’s main square where many a resident spends his Sunday afternoon. Enjoy sipping an espresso on one of the street side cafes, take a stroll in the park, relax on a bench and people watch, or buy a bag of dry corn from one of the park’s vendors to feed the pigeons. The 9 de Julio Square is an ideal spot for relishing the leisurely pace of life in Salta.

9. View holy relics at the ornate Salta Cathedral in the 9 de Julio Square

Salta attracts many religious tourists because of the abundance of Catholic churches and festivals there. Home to Salta’s most important holy relics, the pink Salta Cathedral was constructed in 1858, after the first cathedral was destroyed in an earthquake. Two of the statues used in Salta’s annual procession (Cristo del Milagro), which is held to protect the city from earthquakes, are housed in this church.

10. Hike, bike, and admire the flora and fauna of the cloud forest in neighboring San Lorenzo

In Salta, the wild is only a 10 minute taxi ride away in San Lorenzo, a charming village nestled in the cloud forest that is ideal for hiking and biking. There are several affordable lodges and cabins for rent in the area, where you can go to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

Are you curious about going camping but don’t want to invest a whole lot of time, resources, and money planning a camping excursion?

Even as a first-time camper, you can enjoy a smooth-running camping trip with minimal planning and preparation. Keep these tips and tactics in mind if you’d like to load your family in the car, drive to a campsite within a two-hour radius of home, and pitch a tent for the weekend.

Get Your Gear Together

The first thing you have to do is determine what gear you’ll need for your trip. If you don’t want to buy your own camping gear, rent gear from a local outdoor gear store or borrow gear from a friend who’s a seasoned camper.

Before your trip, try setting up all of your camping gear in your backyard first to ensure that you know how everything works. Setting up a tent can be especially challenging for first-time campers.

Some basic camping gear that you’ll need includes:

• Shelter (a tent, RV, or cabin)
• Sleeping bags and pads
• Cooking supplies
• First-aid kit
• Toiletries
• Rain ponchos

It’s a good idea to create a checklist of all the gear and food you’ll need for your trip so you don’t forget anything.

Research Campgrounds in Your Area

You can choose between public and private campgrounds. Public campgrounds are typically located in scenic, protected areas, such as parks, forests, landmarks, and wilderness areas. Private campgrounds are usually privately-owned RV parks or campground resorts, such as the Yogi Bear’s Jellystone campground.

To find a campground in your area, ask friends and family for recommendations and do some online research. Because it will be your first time camping, stay in a campground that’s not too far from town. Most first-time campers start out as car campers, or campers who camp alongside a vehicle containing all of their camping supplies.

Be sure to reserve a campsite at your preferred campground by telephone or on the internet to secure a spot. The last thing you want is to show up at the campground, only to find out that all of the campsites are occupied. Making reservations is particularly important before busy holidays like the 4th of July and Memorial Day.

Set up Camp

The first thing you have to do when you reach the campground is register at the campground’s office. Information that you typically have to provide at registration includes the number of campers, your license plate number, and the length of your intended stay.

Before setting up your tent, make sure to find a piece of flat, elevated ground, so if it rains, rainwater flows away from your tent rather than into it. Avoid setting up your tent on a slope to prevent yourself from having an uncomfortable night’s sleep.

In addition, make sure that your tent is far enough away from the fire pit so sparks from the campfire can’t reach it. You may also want to bring a tough sheet of plastic with you so you can protect your tent’s sewn in groundsheet in case you have to camp on rough ground.

Things to Do on Your Camping Trip

You’ve pitched your tent and everything’s good to go… so, what comes next? Camping might seem boring if you’ve never done it before, but see it as an opportunity to get off the couch, away from the TV, and away from your smart phone to enjoy a truly relaxing getaway removed from the stresses and complications of daily life.

Camping lets you enjoy life’s simpler pleasures. Private campground resorts typically feature amenities like a pool, recreation center, and sporting equipment, so you can find plenty of ways to stay busy. But if you decide to camp out at a state or national park, you might find that there is little more than nature to enjoy.

At more rustic campgrounds, you can enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and fishing. But if you just want to kick back and relax on your camping trip, you surely won’t regret it if you spend your days and nights admiring the picturesque surroundings, taking deep breaths of fresh air, sitting by the warm, crackling campfire, looking up at the stars, or listening to the sounds of birds chirping. Ah, the delights of camping.

Street food, once a run-of-the-mill cuisine reserved for tourists and hungry passerby looking for a snack to hold them over till mealtime, has come a long way since its inception. No longer is street food limited to pizza slices, pretzels, and hot dogs. You can now get a full-fledged, gourmet meal on wheels in cities throughout the US, thanks to the rising popularity of food trucks.

The food truck trend started to get national attention after Kogi BBQ, an L.A. food truck, started using Twitter to attract a large following. Kogi BBQ serves up Mexican/Korean fusion fare, like kimchi quesadillas and Korean BBQ-filled tacos. The food truck trend doesn’t stop at Kogi BBQ, however. Here are 5 lesser-known food trucks that are taking the country by storm with their affordable, unique offerings.

4. Latin Burger and Taco – Miami, Florida

Latin Burger and Taco is a black and pink truck that doesn’t quite have the “rags to riches” aura that other food trucks do.

If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll even see Ingrid in person when you pick up a burger, as she makes occasional appearances at the truck.

The menu is an Ingrid Hoffman creation that consists of gourmet burgers and tacos made with fresh ingredients. According to Yelp reviews, the tacos aren’t worth even an honorable mention, but the burgers are out of this world. One of the Latin Burger and Taco’s most popular burgers it the Latin Macho, a hearty burger made with chorizo, chuck, and sirloin and topped with jalapeños, Oaxaca cheese, caramelized onion, and red pepper or avocado sauce. Find out where the truck is stopped by following it on Twitter or checking out its website.
