National Route 34 and an important railway branch of the Ferrocarril General Manuel Belgrano connect Salvador Mazza with the rest of Argentina and with Santa Cruz de la Sierra in Bolivia.

It is the northernmost city in Argentina, contrary to popular belief that La Quiaca in Jujuy Province holds that distinction.

Population edit

Salvador Mazza has a population of 16,068 according to the 2001 census, which represents an increment of 71.7% over the 9,387 in 1991. It is estimated that the current population is around 25,000 inhabitants.[1]

Name edit

The name of the town has been given in honour of Salvador Mazza, an Argentine physician and epidemiologist of Italian origin, best known for his strides in helping control American trypanosomiasis an endemic disease among the rural, poor majority of early 20th century South America.
