Cerro San Bernardo

Salta


For outstanding views of Salta, take the ³Ù±ð±ô±ð´Úé°ù¾±³¦´Ç from Parque San Martín to the top of this hill, a 1km ride that takes eight minutes. Alternatively, take the trail starting at the Güemes Monument. Atop is a rather unique wine bar, a watercourse and ²¹°ù³Ù±ð²õ²¹²Ôí²¹ (handicraft) shops.
