Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina and its largest city. It’s a popular city to visit and I’d argue that it’s most traveler’s favorite city in South America. There’s just so much to see and do in this city alone that you could spend weeks here and never see it all. Before you plan …
Depending on your exact route through South America, you may find yourself needing to cross from Salta, Argentina to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. The best and easiest way to make this journey is by bus. While it is a long bus ride, the ride crosses through beautiful mountains and scenery as you cross from …
Planning any large trip can feel overwhelming, but one of the hardest questions to answer is “How much will this cost?”. If you’ve never traveled long term and have only ever treated your travels as a “I’m on vacation, I can do whatever I want”, it becomes downright daunting. As I planned my five month …
Salta is the capital of Salta Province and is located in the northwest of Argentina. While it can feel isolated from so many other places in Argentina (you’re looking at a 20 hour bus to get here from many major Argentinian destinations), it’s still worth a visit.

Buenos Aires is a favorite city for many travelers. With its European influence and many interesting neighborhoods, there’s a lot to see.

Cachi makes for another day trip option from Salta. Instead of towering rock filled mountains, you’ll drive through a canyon that just seems lined with greenery as you work your way toward the tiny town of Cachi. While I believe this day trip has fewer major stops than other day trips from Salta (like Salinas …
Driving through canyons, admiring unique rock formations, and tasting local wine are the main highlights of a day trip to Cafayate. While there are numerous day trip options from Salta, Argentina, Cafayate seems to be the most popular. My fellow tourists showed more enthusiasm on the day trip to Cafayate than they did for Salinas …
A small town, colorful mountains, and the world’s fourth largest salt flats are the three big highlights of a day trip to Salinas Grandes. From the city of Salta, you’ll drive north, through the Andes Mountains before reaching some incredible scenery (though there is plenty of great scenery along the way). It’s a very long …
Salta sits in the northwest corner of Argentina and is surrounded by mountains and unique landscapes. Of course, you could visit and just spend time in the city, but I don’t think it’s right to visit Salta without taking at least one trip to the surrounding area. There’s a lot to see in Salta Province …
If you look at any list of the top things to do in Buenos Aires, one thing that always seems to come up is the Recoleta Cemetery. That might make you do a double take since most people don’t have a habit of visiting cemeteries during their travels, but I can assure you that Recoleta …
