Salta la linda
Salta "the pretty" is in the north west of Argentina, very close to the Andes and 20hours by bus from Mendoza. Here it's very different from what I've seen so far. Altrough the colonial architecture clearly shows the Spanish influence, the "gaucho" (indigenous people) tradicion is well visible too.
The weather is super dry (at least in winter, while it's quite rainy in summer), which makes this province a good location to produce wine. The local food is also great. I'd suggest to try the locro (kind of a soup with meat and beans), the humita, based on corn, and even some dessert like the "turrón salteño", a very sweet nougat. I've tried all of them obviously :)
The curches and the main buildings are well preserved. Right in the middle of the city, there is San Bernardo hill. A half-hour trekking should be enough to reach the top and have a great view of the city. Alternatively you can go by car or by cable-car.
Three full days should be enough to visit the city and plan the trips around this beautiful province.
