Things to do in Salta, Northern Argentina: The Best Museums

January 18, 2022 Jacquiline Delozier

Vibrant Salta is a mashup of old world architecture and modern fun—a truly sophisticated bohemia! Marvel at the intricate façade of the old town hall—a Salta focal point—as you stroll from museums to markets. Savor the vintages at local wineries or take a train to a tiny village that's perched "at the top of the clouds." Thrill seekers will love the adventure sports and archaeological explorations that await at nearby Cabra Corral Dam.

Museo Guemes

Reviewed By travellingjacko - York, United Kingdom

Sort just stumbled upon the museum with some time in our hands. The museum is very interactive with projected videos explaining the life and events of Guemes’ life we didn’t know anything about the war of independence but it was very enlightening. We got given a scripture for the displays in English, which was very helpful though most of the videos had subtitles. Staff were nice and the toilets were clean I think we were there for about a hour there is also a nice gift shop
