Witness the remnants of Salta’s prosperous era in the gold-adorned cathedrals and mansions as you navigate through the city, which experienced a decline following Argentina’s war for independence and the shift in trade routes along the Pacific coast. Today, Salta is celebrated for its stunning and well-preserved colonial architecture.
