Founded in the 1500s by a Spanish conquistador, Salta retains a distinctly European flair, with its colonial architecture and historic Catholic churches that still stand today. Overlooking this picturesque city is Cerro San Bernardo, a 660-foot (200-meter) hill that offers panoramic views of the church spires and the majestic Andes mountains. Visitors can ascend to the summit via a scenic cable car or a winding footpath, where they can enjoy the serene landscape and take in the breathtaking vistas of the surrounding peaks and the vibrant city below.
