Introducing Catamarca
Vibrant Catamarca is booming at the moment, and has a very different feel to other towns of this size in the region. The local authorities have been energetically promoting the province’s natural products, and trade fairs showcasing wines, walnuts, olive oils and jams mean the city’s hotels are often full.

San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca, to give the city its full name, has a lovely central plaza, and noble buildings dot the streets. To the west of town, the huge eucalypts of Parque Navarro scent the air and are backed by the spectacular sierra beyond.
