Salta, Argentina

Salta is a colonial city, capital of the arid province of Salta in Northern Argentina. I arrived at the hostel tired after an overnight bus journey from Córdoba and looking forward to some rest. Unfortunately I was kicked out of bed at midday for the hostel to be "disinfected". At least this gave me a chance to get to know the city a bit.

To the west of Salta, two high mountain ranges and the altiplano (high plane) between them seperate Salta from Northern Chile.
