Resumo: The paper deals with the recent processes that have transformed Salta into an important tourist destination in Argentina. In the last decades, provincial government (together with entrepreneurial actors and cultural and scientific experts) has launched an urban renewal program to revitalize the historic district and improve infrastructures to stimulate tourism. This reinforced the heritage aspects of Salta but also sought to show it as a cosmopolitan city. As part of this process historic district has become a space of consumption for tourist and privileged local society.
