Rural Tourism in Salta
Connect with Countryside Life
Would you like to discover Salta from the rural people’s outlooks? Come to the ranches among valleys, gorges, rivers, and antiplano. Enjoy countryside traditions, locals’ house accommodation, and family atmosphere. Talk with hosts while you savour mate, some freshly-baked bread, some homemade cheese, or while you share the typical Argentinian asado ritual.
Would you like to learn about rural people’s traditions? Walk and ride a horse around the fields, milk cows and goats, learn about horse care, and observe medicinal plant crops. Did you know that many of these ranches preserve history traces? Visit them, and discover colonial pieces of furniture, antique documents, and recipes that have outlived generations. Enjoy this experience in the province of Salta.
