Far from the quietness of other cities in
the argentinian Northwest, Salta offers very interesting
choices for the adventurers and lovers of nature and outdoors
lifestyle.
It's also world wide known the amazing Train to
the Clouds (Tren a las Nubes) that at 4,500 meters
above sea level, the train which climbs the Andes is the
most amazing in the world. This engineering masterpiece
is considered unique not only for its route, but also for
the uncommon beauty that surrounds it. It is for that reason
that nearly 28,000 passengers per year raise up their body
and soul and touch the sky.

rafting and paragliding, or less risky activities like sport
fishing, horse rides or sightseeing.

developed in the Puna area, the Calchaquíes Valleys
