How to get to Salta

If you’re short on time, the best way to get to Salta is by plane. There are several daily flights from Buenos Aires and also from Mendoza. If you’re traveling from Córdoba, you’ll need a connection.

You can also reach Salta by car, but if you only have a few days, expect to spend at least a day on the road from Argentina’s major cities.

How to get around Salta

No doubt: a car is the best way to explore Salta in winter. You won’t depend on expensive tours or unreliable public transport.

With a car, you choose your own path. Go wherever you want, find that special place you’ve heard about, and enjoy the freedom to travel your own way.

¿Qué temperatura hace en Salta en invierno?

The weather in Salta in winter tends to be cold, but not extremely so. A typical day is around 15°C, though it can get cooler at night.

One big advantage of the winter months is that it usually doesn’t rain, which makes it easier to visit and enjoy places that are harder to access during the summer.La ciudad de Salta en invierno

How many days should you stay in Salta in winter?

To see the best of the province, we recommend staying in Salta in winter for 5 to 7 days. That way you can combine relaxation with unmissable excursions.

What to do in Salta in winter

Museums, subtropical forests, and a cable car. The city of ciudad de Salta,

with its colonial architecture and charming streets, has truly earned its nickname: “Salta la Linda” (Salta the Beautiful). Walking its streets is a journey into the past, a chance to enjoy a unique part of Argentina.

Here are the top activities to enjoy in Salta in winter:

Visit the museums of Salta

 Don’t miss the best museums in the city. These are our top picks:

  • Museo de Arqueología de Alta Montaña. Home to the famous Llullaillaco mummies, perfectly preserved thanks to the high-altitude cold. Open Tue–Sun from 11 am to 6 pm. Closed on Mondays.
  • Museo Histórico del Norte (o Cabildo de Salta). A journey through Argentine history, seen from the perspective of the northwest. Open Tue–Fri 9:00–13:30 & 15:00–19:30. Sat 14:30–18:30. Sun 09:30–13:30. Closed on Mondays.
  • Museo Güemes.  A favorite for kids. This museum honors the local hero, General Güemes. Open Tue–Sun 11:00–19:00.
  • Catedral Basílica de Salta. One of the most beautiful churches in Argentina. Open daily from 7:30 am–12:30 pm and 5:00–8:00 pm.

While walking from one museum to another, take time to admire the colonial architecture. Look up and let the history sink in.

Experience a Peña

Spending an evening at a Salta peña is a must. It’s the perfect way to connect with folklore, try regional dishes like empanadas, tamales, humitas, and locro—all with a good glass of wine.

Where? At Casona del Molino.

Explore the Yungas of San Lorenzo

The yungas de San Lorenzo are a hidden gem, just 20 km from downtown Salta.

You must visit the Quebrada de San Lorenzo, with a short interpretive trail to explore the region’s nature.

Also, visit the Municipal Reserve, which offers four more trails. Tip: after hiking, stop by the Gesta Güemesiana Museum. It’s interactive and perfect for kids.

San Bernardo Hill Cable Car

A classic. The teleférico del Cerro San Bernardo is one of the most popular activities in Salta in winter, so expect crowds. Best times: early in the morning or at sunset.

During winter vacations or long weekends, lines can get long—bring patience.

Open daily 9 am to 7 pm.

Teleférico del Cerro San Bernardo

Train to the Clouds

One of Argentina’s most spectacular railways and among the highest in the world. The experience lasts a full day.

There are two options:

  1. Book a tour that picks you up from your hotel and drives to San Antonio de los Cobres. Around noon, the train departs for a 2-hour trip across the stunning La Polvorilla viaduct. Then it returns by bus to your hotel.
  2. Go by car to San Antonio de los Cobres. The drive is long but scenic. Just plan well to arrive before departure time.

The train runs three times a week (Tue, Thu, Sat). Tickets must be booked in advance.

From Salta to Cachi

There are two top day trips from Salta: one is Cafayate, through the Quebrada de las Conchas. The other, perhaps quicker, is Cachi by car from Salta.

The journey features amazing landscapes, including a climb with breathtaking views, and a drive through the largest cactus forest in the world: Los Cardones National Park.

Keep reading to find out how to do this trip yourself in Salta in winter.

The full route is 162 km. About 30 km are unpaved on Provincial Route 33. Here we leave you the map with the route by car

Driving tip: low gears uphill and downhill, and avoid overusing the brakes.

Rent a car worry-free | Rentennials + Ensuro

Want to rent a car without worrying about unexpected costs? Rentennials + Ensuro make it simple

Renting a car should be easy — and most importantly, without surprises. At

Rentennials
, we make sure every trip is comfortable, clear, and safe. That’s why every booking includes a damage protection plan — so you can hit the road with peace of mind.

Thanks to our partnership with Ensuro, a fully digital insurer, you’re covered for any damage during your rental. No fine print. No stress.

You choose how you want to drive

When you rent a car, you have two coverage options. Both protect you — the only difference is the deposit and the maximum out-of-pocket cost in case of damage.

🟢 Included coverage (automatically comes with your booking)

  • Security deposit: USD 400
  • Damage deductible: USD 1500

What does this mean?
If the car gets damaged during your trip:

  • You pay the actual repair cost if it’s under USD 1500.
  • If the damage is more expensive, you only pay up to USD 1500. The insurance covers the rest.

🔧 Real-life examples:

  • Scratched bumper (repair cost: USD 300) → You pay USD 300
  • Dented door (repair cost: USD 2000) → You pay USD 1500

🟡 Reduced deductible option (ARS 47,000 extra)

  • Security deposit: USD 200
  • Damage deductible: USD 200

When is this worth it?
If you prefer to drive with maximum peace of mind, this option guarantees you’ll never pay more than USD 200 in case of damage.

🔧 Real-life examples:

  • Scraped door panel (repair cost: USD 100) → You pay USD 100
  • Broken side mirror and headlight (repair cost: USD 800) → You only pay USD 200

And if nothing happens?

Perfect! Once the trip ends, we return your deposit. Simple as that.

5 Tips to Prevent Altitude Sickness in Peru

If you’re planning to visit Peruvian destinations located over 2,500 meters above sea level, it’s essential to know how to prepare and avoid altitude sickness, also known locally as “soroche.” This condition can cause symptoms like fatigue, headaches, dizziness, or nausea — but with a few simple precautions, you can enjoy your trip without complications.Whether you travel by public transport or rent a peer-to-peer car through Rentennials, moving freely and at your own pace will help you better adapt your travel itinerary. Follow these tips to stay safe and comfortable at high altitude:

1. Allow your body to adjust

Upon arrival at a high-altitude location, avoid intense physical activity for the first 24 to 48 hours. Gentle activities like short walks or relaxed sightseeing are ideal. If you’re driving a rented vehicle, take advantage of the flexibility to stop often and explore without overexerting yourself.

2. Choose light meals

At higher elevations, digestion tends to slow down. During your first few days, opt for light, low-fat, easy-to-digest meals. Avoid large portions and prioritize foods like fruits, cereals, or nourishing soups.

3. Stay hydrated

The dry air and lower oxygen pressure can easily lead to dehydration. Always carry a reusable water bottle and take small sips throughout the day. Hot herbal teas, such as coca or muña, can also help you stay hydrated and feel better.

4. Try coca leaves or related products

Coca leaf is one of the most traditional natural remedies for alleviating altitude sickness symptoms. You can consume it as tea, candies, pills, or even chew the raw leaves. It’s widely available in local markets, hotels, and stores.

5. Listen to your body and rest

If you feel tired or unwell, the best thing you can do is rest. Don’t push yourself. Organize a flexible itinerary that gives you time to pause. Renting a car lets you stay in control of your schedule, stop whenever needed, and travel at your own rhythm.


Travel freely at high altitudes

With Rentennials, you can rent cars directly from local hosts and explore Peru with total independence. No fixed schedules or rigid routes — just the freedom to move well, which is also part of staying healthy.

Rentennials sustentable

The P2P Carsharing Revolution 🌍

A sustainable option 🌱

🌱 Why is Rentennials Sustainable? 🚗

Car sharing 🚘 is a shared mobility model that allows users to rent vehicles without the need to own a car. This model transforms the way we move, offering a more affordable, flexible, and sustainable alternative to traditional private vehicle use. At Rentennials, we firmly believe that this transportation model has a positive impact both for users and for the planet. Here’s why:

🔑 A car on the street, but with efficient use

In Latin America, a car is parked for an average of 95% of the time ⏳, meaning that most cars on the streets are inactive, taking up space and resources. With the P2P car sharing model, the idea is to maximize the use of each vehicle, making it available to those who really need it. By doing this, we reduce the number of unnecessary cars on the road, and therefore, we decrease traffic and the production of new vehicles 🚙.

🚦 Reducing traffic and vehicles on the streets

According to a Forbes study, for every P2P car sharing vehicle on the road, up to 10 additional cars are removed from the streets 🚗❌. This results in less congestion, less pollution, and more efficient public space 🌍. At Rentennials, we not only optimize the use of existing cars, but we also contribute to a cleaner, less congested urban model.

💸 Sustainability doesn’t have to be expensive

There is a common misconception that sustainability has to be more expensive. At Rentennials, we prove this is not true. Not only do we offer a wide variety of vehicles at affordable prices, but by not having a traditional structure like car rental companies 🏢, we can significantly reduce costs. This allows us to offer much more competitive prices, even more affordable than buying a car! 💰

⚡ The flexibility and economy of the P2P car sharing model

By renting a vehicle through P2P car sharing, our users gain access to a more flexible, broader, and cost-effective option. There’s no need to purchase a car for personal use, which comes with not only a high initial cost but also ongoing expenses for maintenance, insurance, taxes, etc. Instead, with Rentennials, you can rent a vehicle only when you need it, saving money 💵 while using a resource already on the street, in a more efficient and sustainable way.

🌍 Conclusion: The future of transportation is shared

At Rentennials, we are convinced that the future of urban transportation lies in more efficient and sustainable mobility models 🚀. By promoting P2P car sharing, we not only help reduce the number of cars on the streets but also offer an affordable alternative to car ownership. Car sharing is not just a more eco-friendly 🌱 option, but also a smarter choice for those looking to optimize their spending and contribute to a more sustainable world.

Join Rentennials and be part of this change towards a sustainable future! 🌱💚

New metered parking system in Mendoza: How does it work?

In the city of Mendoza, drivers are starting to experience a new way of managing parking in some of its busiest streets. This digital metered parking system aims to optimize the use of public space and, more importantly, reduce traffic chaos in key areas of the city.

At Rentennials, we’ll walk you through how this new system works — and how it might affect your car rental experience in Mendoza.
Metered parking in Mendoza

🅿️ What Is Mendoza’s New Digital Metered Parking System?

This new system, implemented in certain areas of Mendoza, represents a step toward more modern and practical management of public parking.

Unlike the old paper card method (where you had to place a card on your dashboard), everything is now handled through a mobile app.

For those who don’t use smartphones, there are still authorized sales points where you can pay traditionally.

📍 Where Is This System Being Used?

Currently, the system is being tested in key areas such as Arístides Villanueva, Juan B. Justo, Belgrano, Sarmiento, and Tiburcio Benegas — all known for high traffic flow.

If the pilot is successful, it will be rolled out to more areas across Mendoza.

📲 How Does the App Work?

To use the system, drivers must download the SEM Mendoza app. QR codes to access the app are posted on signs in the designated zones.

Once installed, the steps are simple:

1. Register:

Sign up with your phone number, email, and mobile carrier.

Android – Play Store

iOS – App Store 
Application for metered parking in the city of Mendoza.

2. Enter Vehicle Info:

Add the license plate number of the car you’re parking.

3. Start Parking Session:

Select the “start parking” option and enter the time you’ll need.

4. Payment:

Pay in advance through the app or at an authorized sales point.

Everything is digital — no more machines or paper tickets — and your session must be paid before parking.

✅ Key Benefits of the New System

Convenience: Manage your parking through the app — no need for cash or finding a parking attendant.

Flexibility: Don’t have the app? You can still pay at physical locations.

Reminders: The app notifies you when your time is about to expire so you can extend it.

Efficiency: Helps organize parking and can expand to more areas if successful.

⏰ What Happens When Time Runs Out?

One great feature is flexibility. If your session is about to expire, you’ll receive a reminder to top it up.

If you don’t, you may receive a fine — just like with any traditional metered parking system.

👥 How Does This Affect Drivers?

Although the system offers many advantages — like convenience and speed — some users may initially struggle if they’re not tech-savvy.

However, the city has introduced a grace period (until March 31), during which the service is free. This gives everyone time to get used to it.

For regular drivers in these areas, the app will simplify payments and reduce parking stress. Plus, no more handling cash or paper tickets!

🌆 Why This Change Matters for Urban Mobility

Digital metered parking doesn’t just improve organization — it can positively impact overall mobility in the city.

Real-time tracking and payment reduce the time people spend looking for parking, which means less traffic congestion, more fluid movement, and a better urban experience.

In an age of smart cities, this is a big leap toward smarter, cleaner, and more efficient urban transportation.

🔮 What to Expect in the Future

If the Mendoza pilot is successful, it could expand across other cities in Argentina and Latin America.

This is part of a larger movement: the digitization of urban mobility, using tech to improve everyday life.

For drivers, adapting to this change might take some getting used to — but the benefits are worth it, especially with the system’s flexibility.

🏁 Conclusion

Mendoza’s new digital metered parking system is a major step forward in modernizing urban transport.

With easy payment options via app or in-person, the system offers an efficient, smart way to manage city parking — making life easier for drivers and creating a more organized and sustainable city.
