Martin Miguel De Guemes International Airport: where to stay, areas…

The Martín Miguel de Güemes airport is 9-12 km southwest of downtown Salta: there are no dedicated trains or buses, only taxis and fixed-rate remis cars from the airport stand, in 15-20 minutes. To visit the colonial centre, the area around Plaza 9 de Julio remains the most practical base, with the cable car to Cerro San Bernardo and the restaurants on nearby streets just steps away. The supply of hotels with verifiable information near the airport is scarce: among the available candidates, only downtown offers properties with a track record and solid reviews to rely on.
