Salta province's secretary of tourism does a great job controlling their handmade products -- from textiles to bamboo and wood ornaments. After certification, they're sold only at the Mercado Artesanal, San Martín 2555 (no phone), open from 9am to 9pm daily. Here, you'll find authentic products -- from leather goods to candles -- made throughout Salta Province by local artisans. The price is controlled, too, so you don't have to worry about bargaining here. You'll also find beautiful jewelry and silver.
