ECOTOURISM IN SALTA

Indigenous Aboriginal Communities: Most are located in the northern part of the Province and belong to the Chiriguanas, Chané, Churupíes, Tobas and Wichí Missions, among others. They keep their customs and traditions intact and preserve the cultural identity that characterizes them.
Natural Reserves: Salta has three Provincial Natural Reserves: Los Palmares, Los Andes and Acambuco. Each one of them shows different varieties of plant and animal species, peculiar to the regions where they are located. Trekking, camping, photo safaris, bird watching, horseback rides and other activities can be practiced in the reserves, all under the supervision and responsibility of an adventure tourism guide or a park guard.
Scientific Excursions: The provincial territory has an ample offer of places fit for the carrying out of scientific studies; among them, in Guachipas, you will find the caves of Las Juntas with their ancient rock paintings, which need to be pointed out. Pre Columbian pictures, portraying complex rituals from the Santa María late culture period, can be appreciated.
There are also palaeontology excursions that allow travellers to recognize and appreciate the tracks left behind by dinosaurs, which roamed the Tonco valley area, approximately 65 million years ago. They are unique in the world due to their vertical position on a wall of rock.
