Today, visit of Salta in the morning, then return to Tucumán in the afternoon!

Statue of Facundo Zuviría. Politician born in Salta, he was president of the constitutional convention that led to the Argentine Constitution in 1853.

San Martín Park.

San Martín Avenue!!! We find it practically in all the major cities of the country.

José de San Martín is an Argentine general born on February 25, 1778 in Yapeyú and died in France in Boulogne-sur-Mer on August 17, 1850. He is the "libertador" who fought the Spanish and allowed the liberation of Argentina in 1816, Chile in 1817 and Peru in 1821.

The statue of General San Martín on the "9 de julio" square next to the "Cabildo", the best preserved colonial building in Argentina.

The Cathedral of Salta.

San Francisco Church.

As the plane that will take us to Iguazu tomorrow leaves from Tucumán. We therefore leave Salta to return to the Hotel Bristol in Tucumán.

We go to the restaurant "El Alto de la Lechuza" dated 1939. We will also be able to listen to music groups there.

You don't change a winning team: "lomo con papas fritas"!
