Santiago del Estero, Provincial capital in northwestern Argentina
Santiago del Estero extends along the banks of the Dulce River, where subtropical climate patterns bring seasonal summer rains and winter droughts.
Francisco de Aguirre established Santiago del Estero in 1553, making it the first permanent Spanish settlement in present-day Argentina.
The National University of Santiago del Estero and the Wagner Museum preserve archaeological collections that document the regional indigenous heritage.
The Vicecomodoro Angel de la Paz Aragones Airport connects the city with Buenos Aires through regular domestic flights.
The city maintains a population of 100,000 Quechua speakers, representing the southernmost point where this indigenous language remains active.
