About LGBTQ+ Salta
Argentina legalized same-sex marriage in 2010, the first country in Latin America to do so, and its progressive framework reaches even the traditional, deeply Catholic northwest. Salta, a beautifully preserved colonial city known as "Salta la Linda," has a small scene that punches above the region's conservative reputation.
Most of the city's nightlife concentrates on Calle Balcarce, the main bar-and-club strip, where gay and gay-friendly venues sit among the crowd.
