Audio Guide of San Bernardo Hill

You can go up by cable car from San Martín Park (operating daily from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.), walk up the pedestrian path (free access), or drive. The hill is open 24 hours a day, but we recommend visiting during daylight hours. More info at: Salta Cable Car.

Access to the hill is free if you go up on foot or by car. The cable car charges a fare: ARS 1400 for adults (2023), with discounts for children and residents. Check updated prices at: Official fares.

We recommend setting aside 2 to 3 hours if you use the cable car (including time for viewpoints and photos). If you walk up (1 hour ascent), allow half a day. Do not miss the sunset!

It is a symbol of Salta, with 14 crosses representing the Stations of the Cross. At the summit you will find a monument to the Battle of Salta. It owes its name to the victory of August 20 (Saint Bernard's Day) in 1536.

Sunsets and sunrises offer spectacular views. In summer, avoid midday because of the intense heat. Ideal seasons: March to June (autumn) and September to November (spring). Always bring water.

The cable car is accessible, but at the summit there are cobbled paths with slopes. There is an adapted viewpoint. For details: Contact the cable car.

Very close by are: San Martín Park (the cable car base), the Güemes Monument (2 km), and the Artisan Market (3 km). Learn more at: Salta Tourism.

Wear comfortable shoes, bring sunscreen and water. If you are walking up, start early. At the summit there are craft stalls and snack stands. Do not forget your camera!
