Nature, culture, peace, diversity, colors… All is combined in the Argentinean Northwest.
Salta’s city, with its colonial architecture, its narrow streets, the surrounding hills and its various parks and beautiful churches, is the ideal starting point for discovering the region.
An outstanding experience is visiting Cafayate. The accessing route does not stop amazing the travelers. The mountain road dazzles with the changes in landscapes, the variety of geological formations, the red colored earth…Cafayate belongs to the Salta Wine Route. The main wine in this region is the Torrontes (white wine).
An essential visit is discovering the Calchaquies Valleys, with its imposing mountains, cornice roads, rivers, streams and charming little villages.
Another incredible visit is Salinas Grandes. These salt flats are an unforgettable white desert that contrast with the blue sky and amaze with their immensity.
Jujuy province also has the Quebrada de Humahuaca, which has been declared as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. Here, villages such as Tilcara, Humahuaca and Purmamarca (with its incredible Cerro de los Siete Colores -Hill of the Seven Colors-) are characterized by their traditions and the tranquility, surrounded by a wonderful natural area.

IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE SOUTHERN ‘PORTEÑO’ NEIGHBORHOOD HAS BEEN FILLED WITH AMAZING STREET ART THAT SURPRISES FOR ITS QUALITY (AND FOR ITS DIMENSIONS) / ARGENTINE AND EUROPEAN ARTISTS / WHAT’S THE “COLOR BA” INITIATIVE ALL ABOUT?
One of the most interesting news is that the neighborhood seems to be increasingly intervened. In building facades, forgotten walls or local shutters, dozens of murals of many artists and groups related to, and emerging from urban art – mostly thanks to the “Color BA” movement – transform the public space into an art festival. In only two editions, this initiative managed to transform – and as they claim – beautify La Boca, legitimizing the conception that art should be within reach of all.
Three main representations of this murals boom: the imposing portrait of a girl of La Boca by the Argentine artist “El Marian” located at Suarez & Juan de Dios Filiberto intersection; a double median by italian “Millo” (main photo of this article) located at Benito Pérez Galdos & Caboto; and the colors of irish artist “Maserart”, in a half block intervention on Martin Rodriguez street Martín Rodríguez between Ayolas and Lamadrid.

The World Heritage Committee has recently inscribed Los Alerces National Park on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
Los Alerces National Park is located in the Andes of northern Patagonia, 30 miles (50 km) from Esquel city, and has a western boundary which coincides with the Chilean border.
Successive glaciations have molded the landscape in the region creating spectacular features such as moraines, glacial cirques and clear-water lakes.
However, the real attraction is the Alerce tree, one of the longest-living species on the planet with specimens that have survived up to 4000 years. Lured by the acclaim of well-known parks to the north and south, most hikers miss this gem, which makes your visit more enjoyable!
