Do
- Finca Lesser. Horse riding, the scenery, the views. It's spectacular!!
- Quebrada de San Lorenzo, -24.723401°, -65.503946°. Take a hike through beautiful mountainside forests. The 7E bus from Salta takes you all the way to the trailhead, which has tourist information, bathrooms, a few restaurants, and a couple of shops. From there, keep going west to find the trail. Follow the yellow arrows and ignore the "propiedad privada" signs. The trail ends at a clearing with a wacky metal statue and beautiful views of San Lorenzo and Salta. Free 2017-11-25
