Salta is situated on the tropic of Capricorn giving it a unique position of having five climates, perfectly suited for a thriving agricultural economy. Many outdoor sports are also practiced here because of this pleasant and agricultural-friendly climate.Salta grows the finest Torrontes grape, an endemic grape mutated from two grapes, allowing Salta wine producers to make the award-winning white wine, Torrontes. Here in Salta, you’ll enjoy a water rafting activity and end the day with a delicious Argentine Asado (barbecue) while enjoying a great glass of Torrontes.
