If you want to learn about a critical event in Argentina's War of Independence, this tour of the Battle of Salta is ideal. We'll pass by all the main places linked to the battle!

Tour Highlights

At the appointed time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Salta and start touring the city to discover those places linked to the Battle of Salta, which took place on February 20, 1813. This battle marked the victory of the Army of the North under General Manuel Belgrano over royalist troops led by Juan Pío Tristán. We'll learn about the battle at the Portezuelo area, the city's only entrance during the confrontation.

Our next destination is Chachapoyas, where trails used by patriot troops were located, followed by a visit to Castañares Farm. General Belgrano planned the battle here, and we'll share the story of the night before this decisive event.

Continuing to Lomas de Medeiros, we will discuss Martina Silva de Gurruchaga, who led a group of women and gauchos in support of the patriot army. We will return to downtown Salta to see the 20 de Febrero Monument and the Monument to Martin Miguel de Güemes, commemorating the only Argentine general who died in combat during the War of Independence.

The tour concludes at the Nuestra Señora de la Merced church, which houses the well-known cross of the Battle of Salta. We will return to your hotel, arriving 4 hours after pickup.
