Salta is predominantly inhabited by descendants of the indigenous people, so it feels very different from southern Argentina, which is very white. It´s a reminder of the pre-European America.

THING I DIDN´T KNOW BEFORE TODAY: The killing of thousands of natives was carried out in the 1870s by Army general Julio Roca, later president of Argentina
