Lonely Planet review

This 60-hectare cloud forest reserve is in San Lorenzo, 7km west of Salta, and run by a not-for-profit nature foundation. Entry is by prior appointment and includes a four-hour guided walk along the reserve's 15km of trails. Despite Salta's proximity, the bird watching is extraordinarily good; more than 205 species have been recorded, with 100 of those - including guans, tanagers, parrots, hummingbirds and woodpeckers - all common.

A cab from Salta costs around Arg$15 , or you can get any San Lorenzo-bound bus. Get off at the municipalidad and it's a 1km walk along Mariano Moreno to the reserve.
