We saw the teleferico from the road on our way into Salta and thought it would be worth a visit. There is a restaurant/bar at the top station and an impressive man-made series of waterfalls, together with some terraces for a birds-eye view over Salta. More

We only spent around 30mins at the top. That was enough time. The waterfalls were pleasant and the views spectacular. More

The climb up is 30-45 min and just 1100 custom made stairs. There is no view because of the bushes around on the way up or down. On the top there is a super toeristic restaurant and some shops. The view is ok. Rather spend your time doing nice trips around salta. The trip might only be nice for non... More

I was boring and at the top there was not much to see. I recommend heading up the stairs there and back, it was nice and not to diffult of stairs. More

The cable car takes you from the heat of Salta up to the cool air on top of the hill with great views over Salta Town. There is a nicely laid out park and a bar at the top and, of course, an artisans market. More

The cable car is nice for great views and something to do, but not necessarily something to put at the top of the list. Pretty much the same as any teleferico, good for a few photos, but not something you'll remember for years. More

Today, March 19th, 2012, we decided to ride the tram to the top of San Bernardo where you get a wonderful view of Salta. The outfit that runs the tram (Teleferico) were professional and you felt good about climbing in a cable car without fear. I would think that one would invest about one to two hours for the whole...

This is a must do in Salta. The tram will give you great views and a sense of Salta. Plan to spend about an hour on this activity. Combine it with coffee or an ice cream and the view from above. More
