If you want to learn about a critical event in Argentina's War of Independence, this tour of the Battle of Salta is ideal. We'll pass by all the main places linked to the battle!
At the appointed time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Salta and start touring the city to discover those places linked to one of the main battles of the War of Independence of Argentina.
The famous Battle of Salta, which took place on February 20, 1813, marked the victory of the Army of the North under the command of General Manuel Belgrano over the royalist troops commanded by Juan Pío Tristán. We'll learn how this battle took place by going to the Portezuelo area, where the only entrance to the city was located at the time of the confrontation.
We'll continue our tour of Salta in Chachapoyas, where the trails used by the Army of the North patriot troops were located. The next stop will be at the Castañares Farm. Did you know that General Belgrano planned the Battle of Salta on this farm? We'll tell you the story of the night before this decisive battle.
Afterwards, we'll follow the route to Lomas de Medeiros. There, Martina Silva de Gurruchaga from Salta captained a group of women and gauchos who joined the patriot army. After learning about this fascinating history, we'll return to downtown Salta to admire the 20 de Febrero Monument commemorating the battle. We'll also contemplate the Monument to Martin Miguel de Güemes, which is dedicated to the only Argentine general who died in combat during the War of Independence.
The last stop will occur at the Nuestra Señora de la Merced church, a neo-Gothic temple where the well-known cross of the Battle of Salta is kept. After contemplating this crucifix, we'll return to your hotel, where arrival is scheduled 4 hours after pickup.
