More and more airlines coming to northern Argentina. Aerolineas Argentinas and Lan are the biggest promotions offered in your air passages.
The watch is set in the NOA. Even travel clothing brands to make their campaigns in the region. The firm Cardon was inspired carnivals in the province of Jujuy summer collection for 2011, a proposal that the colors Jujuy and looms as the mantle, are the protagonists, and Benito Fernandez was also inspired by the region and made the graph of his 2010 collection in the town of Salta Tolar Grande.
The president of the Argentina Association of Travel and Tourism (AAAVYT) and vice president of the Cámara Argentina de Turismo (CAT), Ricardo Rozas, found that while the Patagonian destinations like Buenos Aires, are “undoubtedly” destination selected, “the northwest of our country Argentina has experienced tremendous growth in tourism in recent years.” “It’s a growth target has no roof,” he said.
He added: “It is a region rich in history and natural beauty Columbian difficult if not impossible to find elsewhere. In this area are merged and the indigenous cultures of the first Europeans. ”
He also noted that this is not the North of Argentina became fashionable but “Argentina all in the field of international tourism” is the rage.
Changes in Argentina’s economy, the devaluation of the peso, and the declaration of World Heritage by UNESCO, the Quebrada de Humahuaca in 2003, was the initial kick stand for the region to gain strength.
“The north has a scenic beauty and rich culture, unique in the country with ancient customs, rituals, celebrations, and remnants of races originating in the Andes,” said Matthew Pemberton, manager of the Hotel El Manantial del Silencio, which for more than 10 years working in Tilcara, province of Jujuy, a picturesque Andean town retains a colonial plot.
He explained that when they decided to build Pemberton was a bet on the region and instead make a proposal according to the latest architectural trends, preferring to do so following the Spanish neocolonial style to keep the same style characterizes the region.
This is also a trend that appeals to foreigners. More and more hotels are built and open new restaurants, but with the same premise: to maintain the culture of the north surface.
Another feature that drove the development region was wine.”The North also has a unique combination of natural landscapes, important pre-Inca and colonial history, has a first class cuisine combined with the high altitude wines,” said Diego Patron Costas, the owner of Hotel La Merced in El Alto, located in Cachi, one of the points required for tourists as it is located on the famous circuit of the Tour of the Valleys Calchaquíes.
The foreign tourist visiting the area traveling north is characterized mostly Europeans looking ahead, hear and investigate for themselves. “It’s young people and true spirit to discover different places and far from large cities. The plateau invites you to visit their villages of adobe or colonial chapels, “said Roza.
The wide variety of activities offered in the region invites you to join all the proposals. According Patron Costas, the historic village and surrounding ruins archeology at the foot of Nevado Cachi Cachi, one of the favorite courses in Salta but also the pursuit of relaxation and silence amid the colorful landscapes are usually in high demand.
“There are many fans trekking medium and high. They also make many horseback riding and biking, “he added.
Instead, they are going to Jujuy, according to Pemberton, the excursions in 4 x 4 vehicles, custom trips for churches and museums in the Quebrada de Humahuaca, are the most desirable options. In Tucumán, both the capital and Tafi del Valle are the favorite spots.
But what attracts tourists most of the native peoples and landscapes is the warmth of the people. “It fascinated with being able to share these practices and be a part in celebrations and rituals,” he said Pemberton
