Getting from Salta airport to the city center

Salta is served by Martín Miguel de Güemes International Airport (SLA), located approximately 9 km southwest of the city center. This compact regional airport offers several airport transfers to city center options suitable for different budgets and preferences. Transport choices include taxis, remis (private car services), public buses, and rental cars. Journey times are relatively short due to the airport's proximity to downtown Salta, though traffic conditions can affect travel duration during peak hours.

  • Prices in ARS (Argentine Pesos); table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Due to currency fluctuations in Argentina, prices may vary significantly. Check current rates before travel.
  • Public bus Line 8A requires a SAETA rechargeable card, which can be purchased at kiosks in the city.
  • Taxi and remis services are available directly outside the arrivals terminal.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
