You can easily get up the hill by cablecar, which is not expensive. Walking is easy as well and will take u around 30 minutes. On top you have a nice look at the city and see that it's actually bigger than you probably thought. Once back down it's nice to walk around in the back or get a pancho... More

This is just a fun experience, going up in a cablecar. The cars don't stop, jou get on and off as they are moving. Fabulous views of the city, nice small restaurant at the top. You can rent a bike to go down. There's a waterfall and watercourses as well as exercise equipment.

Recently returned from a memorable trip to Salta and Jujuy Province. We hired Angelica del Valle Valdez as a driver and guide for a week and highly recommend her services. Angie is a native of the region, speaks excellent English and worked with a tour company for many years before starting her own business. She is extremely knowledgable and very... More

We took the gondola up and then walked back down - makes for a nice way to spend an afternoon. There's a cafe at the top for refreshments and some nice water features.

This was a pleasant discovery and trip up the teleferico giving us a nice view of the large city. At the top you find a nice park with lots of waterfalls and places to picnic. Worthwhile doing.

We just returned from our trip to Argentina. We had a great time and part of that reason was because we were exceptionally pleased with the service that Borello Travel and Tours provided. All of the people who picked us up at the airport, delivered us to the airport or to the bus station were all on time, waiting for... More

We took the tram up just after lunch, enjoyed the splendid view with a few glasses of cold wine. I wouldn't chance the food up there as it didn't look great. Definitely worth doing while in Salta.

We loved this trip because of the views and the greenery etc at the summit. We had been told that there was a good cafe but it was only serving stuff from a cabinet self service with one grumpy guy in charge when we were there in December.

It is worth the trip to take the cable car (tram) to the top to see the view and the gardens. There were many people walking down, so that is another alternative to the cable car.
