Salta-style empanadas are small, juicy and commonly filled with knife-cut beef, potato, egg and spring onion.
At Mercado San Miguel, the tasting expands to chilies, maize, cheeses and sweets that connect the city to valleys and highlands around it.

Experience FAQ
Taste Salta's empanadas at San Miguel Market
Q01Is this a full meal?
It can be. I plan the number of stops around appetite and add dishes only when they reveal something distinct about the region.
Q02Can vegetarians join?
Yes. Cheese, maize, potato and vegetable dishes can make a substantive route, but dietary needs must be shared in advance.

Plan a Salta market lunch
Follow Patagonia toward the ice, or take the northern road from vineyard shade to Iguazú's thunder.
Tell me which landscape you keep returning to, and we will build the right Argentina journey around it.
I would travel south for whales, lenga forests and glaciers calving into blue water. I would turn north for Mendoza's vineyards, the white deserts of the Puna and the roar of Iguazú. Both deserve a journey of their own.
