About Salta for Solo Travelers
Argentina's most beautiful colonial city in a landscape of painted desert valleys — solo travelers find Salta the perfect base for exploring the Andean north at their own pace.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Salta is Argentina's most culturally rich northwestern city and very accessible solo — the colonial centre is compact and walkable, the train to the clouds day trip is a classic shared experience, and the peñas (folk music restaurants) are the most social solo evenings in northern Argentina. The multicoloured Quebrada de Humahuaca valley is an essential day trip.
