I looked at the Wikipedia page for Salta, Argentina, especially Salta's climate. The monthly average high temperatures seem surprisingly mild for a location so close to the Andes Mountains! That being said, -25 South latitude is sub-tropical, right? Also, I don't speak Spanish. In contrast, you seem to speak (or write) English quite well.
