Salta is a land of vast extensions and gauchos, where
rural life is full of surprises and charms for tourists.Ranch houses (which in this part of the country are known as “fincas”) stand out for their respect of tradition, elegance and hospitality; and they combine rest and relaxation with a more active life and the possibility of getting to know every nook and cranny of the province. Day on a “finca” starts with the scent and flavour of fresh bread and home-made jams, which can be tasted in a spacious dining room next to a stove or the fireplace, or in a luminous arcade that looks on to the rising sun. In the morning, visitors can take part in different activities such as horse-riding excursions, short walks and visits to dairies and other production centres. In the afternoon, one can relax a little, while drinking a typical infusion such as mate and listening to the tunes of a guitar. There are “estancias”, farm houses, boutique hotels, inns and fishing lodges in all the regions of Salta. Activities differ from one to the next one, but all of them allow visitors to enjoy Salta in an alternative way with warm hospitality, personal attention from the owners and the possibility of tasting the local cuisine.  The Peruvian Paso TrailThis circuit includes a visit to the “estancias” that breed this type of horse. Tourists spend a day in the country and enjoy different activities such as horse-riding, archaeological visits, typical meals and accommodation. Peruvian Paso horses have an elegant gait and are tractable animals, high in spirit and stamina, which makes them ideal for either short or long trips. |
