Argentina's northwest holds its most venerable colonial settlements, and
none is more lovely than Salta . This beautiful city is set in a fertile valley
that acts as a gateway to the impressive Andean cordillera not far beyond.
Postcard-pretty churches, a sociable plaza and noble buildings give it a laid-back
historic ambience that endears it to all. Add in great museums, a lively folkloric
music scene, some of the country's most appealing lodging and a fistful of attrac-
tions within easy reach: that's one impressive place.
