Salta, Argentina: A Hidden Gem in the North 🇦🇷✨

After a 4-hour bus ride, I arrived in Salta City – the charming capital of Salta Province. Dropped my bags at the hostel and immediately fell in love with this walkable, vibrant city! The historic center, especially near the cathedral, is absolutely picturesque 🏛️💖. While most attractions here are easy to discover, I want to share two underrated museums you CAN’T miss: 1️⃣ MAAM (High Altitude Archaeology Museum) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • Home to the world-famous "Llullaillaco Children" – three perfectly preserved Inca mummies (sacrificed ~500 years ago on a 6,739m volcano!) ❄️👶 • "A must-see like the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an!" – Seriously, skipping this is criminal for history lovers. 2️⃣ General Güemes Museum ⭐⭐⭐⭐ • Dedicated to Martín Miguel de Güemes, Argentina’s revolutionary war hero & Salta’s pride! ⚔️ • Next-level exhibits – Even more engaging than some museums in Beijing! (And that’s saying something 🏆) • Perfect for understanding gaucho culture and Argentina’s fight for independence. Pro Tips: • Both museums have English info 📖 • Try empanadas salteñas afterward – the best in Argentina! 🥟 #SaltaSecret #ArgentinaTravel #IncaHistory #MummyMystery #CityWalk #HiddenGems #CulturalGem #TravelDeep #MuseumLover 🗿✈️
