How to Get to Estadio Padre Ernesto Martearena
The stadium sits roughly 3 km west of Salta’s city center. From Plaza 9 de Julio take Avenida Belgrano westbound by taxi or colectivo (bus) lines A or 3; the ride is about 10-15 minutes. Drivers in Salta are familiar with the venue - say “Estadio Martearena” and they will drop off at the main entrance.
If driving, follow Ruta 9 into the city and take Avenida Belgrano; limited paid parking exists on match days near the stadium but arriving by taxi or public transport avoids the chaos. Walking from the central district is doable (around 35-45 minutes) and pleasant in good weather.
Tips for Visiting Estadio Padre Ernesto Martearena
- Enter through the main gate on Avenida Belgrano to avoid the smaller, crowded turnstiles used by local clubs.
- If attending a football match, buy tickets from the club's official outlets the day before - sellers at the stadium are often scalpers.
- Bring a light rain jacket during the austral summer: sudden storms in the Lerma Valley can halve visibility on the far side of the pitch.
