The remote northwest provinces of Argentina are firmly off the tourist trail but don’t let that put you off for a moment. With a breathtaking variety of scenery ranging from tranquil deserts and bone white salt flats to lush rolling vineyards and dramatic canyons, this region is a real treat for the eyes.

The capital of the region is Salta which is an attractive city rich in colonial history. So attractive in fact it’s known as 'La Linda' or 'The Beautiful'. Eminently strollable with gorgeous architecture, charming cafes and restful parks, it’s the perfect base to explore this stunning region.
