Salta Travel Guide: Sports Activities
Fly Fishing
Fly fishing enthusiasts will be thrilled to know that excellent Dorado fly fishing is possible in Salta, along the mighty Juramento River. With lush tropical rainforest landscapes, beautiful warm weather, and huge gleaming Dorado populating the waters, the area is a prime destination for those who love their fly fishing.
Trekking
Salta is also a wonderful region for trekking, being very mountainous country. Hikes of varying degrees difficulty exist, and both beginners and advanced trekkers are easily catered for. During one of the more accessible one day treks, expert bilingual guides take you through jungle-like vegetation starting at the foot of San Bernardo Mountain and then along the edges to San Lorenzo hill top where you can gape in wonder at the Lerma Valley with its rivers and the Andes in the background. You are back in the city by the afternoon. Other tours range from 2 days to a week in different regions of the Province and go from easy to highly professional. Consult your travel advisor for more details.
