La Candelaria is a village and rural municipality in Salta Province, in northwestern Argentina. It is located in the Salta region, within the country's Andean northwest, a part of Argentina that borders Bolivia and Chile.
The settlement is classified as both a village and a rural municipality, meaning it serves as a minor administrative unit for the surrounding countryside rather than as a large urban centre. As with other rural municipalities in Salta Province, its local governance covers a dispersed population across an agricultural and sparsely settled area.
Beyond its status as a village and rural municipality in Salta Province, few details about La Candelaria are widely documented. It should not be confused with other places bearing the same name, including the historic La Candelaria district of Bogotá, Colombia.
