Useful Information

Getting There

Daily flights are available from Buenos Aires (2 hours) on Aerolineas Argentinas. A new airline, Andes Airlines, has recently opened for business running a similar route on a daily basis.

The airport is only 9km from the city. It is best to prepay a taxi (remise) from one of the services inside the airport. This is usually a few pesos more than a metered cab, but ensures that you get into a safe taxi and go straight to your destination, especially if you do not speak Spanish.

The Bus Station is located at the east end of Park San Martin. There are daily buses (20 - 22 hours) from Buenos Aires.

Getting Around

The town of Salta itself can easily be covered on foot. If you choose not to go with a local tour company to see the surrounding attractions then you can rent a car in town (Hertz or Avis both have locations)
