Salta is one of the most beautiful provinces in Argentina<\/strong>. In an earlier post, I told you what my one-week itinerary in the province of Salta was<\/strong><\/a> like so that you could organize your own visit to this beautiful province. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also read about my experience on the train to the clouds<\/strong> and my 3-day road trip through the Calchaqu\u00edes Valleys<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in today\u2019s post, I will tell you everything you can see and do in the Capital of Salta in just 2 days. Let\u2019s start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of last February, I arrived in Salta La Linda<\/strong>, northwestern Argentina, after spending a month in Peru and Bolivia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is It Better to Go to Salta?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

First, you must know the best time to go to Salta. As you know, my travel date was February and March. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the rainy season, but don\u2019t think it\u2019s raining all day; it\u2019s possible that a rainstorm will surprise you once a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my week in Salta, it only rained two days, one in Salta Capital and the other in the Calchaqu\u00ed valleys<\/strong><\/a>, and it was only a while, yes, thunder, intimidating gray clouds, and plenty of water, but it went by fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good thing about Salta is that it has almost an eternal spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have more than 300 days of sunshine a year, but you have to consider the area you visit since it has 4 types of weather depending on the area!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the area of the Lerma Valley, where Salta Capital <\/strong>is located, the climate is more benign; in summer, the average temperature exceeds 25 degrees Celsius, and in winter, the average is 14, not bad. It’s ideal for escaping the scorching heat of Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Things to Do in Salta in 2 Days<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We start our visit through the Old Town of Salta, and from there, we walk to all places, with a few exceptions. You can also take the tourist bus; this is up to you. I\u2019ll tell you below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit Plaza 9 De Julio (9th of July Square)<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"plaza<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This is the city’s main square; the name commemorates Argentina’s Independence and is where the city of Salta was founded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the surroundings of this square, we will see the city’s most important buildings, colonial style, such as the Cabildo, the Cathedral, and the MAAM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, of course, there are also nice places to eat or have rich ice cream and more than 250 trees that give a comforting shade on the hottest days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among them, you will know two typical Argentine trees: the Ceibo, which is the national tree and flower, and the Jacarand\u00e1, with its lilac flower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most beautiful thing about this square is that it is well-preserved and maintains its traditional colonial style. It\u2019s definitely the first place visitors must see in the Capital.<\/p>\n\n\n
