Northwest Argentina includes the provinces of Salta, Jujuy and Tucuman
and transpires the cultures of the Incas and other Indian civilisations,
which through centuries established their villages in this rough yet
beautiful landscape.The province of Salta borders the countries of Chile, Bolivia and Paraguay and six other Argentine provinces. Its vast territory offers an extraordinary range of landscapes, from the dry arid desert of the Puna (North Western desert) to the luxuriant lush greens of the subtropical Yungas jungle. The spontaneous generosity of its inhabitants, descendants of the Incas and inheritors of a rich cultural tradition ensures a unique experience. Salta, Jujuy and Tucumán pride themselves on the diversity of their historic heritage; relax in a colonial-style courtyard on a balmy evening, listening to a cueca played on Andean instruments and enjoy a plate of locro or some tamales washed down with the light fruity flavour of Torrontes wine.
