Salvador Mazza or Profesor Salvador Mazza (also known as Pocitos) is a city in northern Argentina, in Salta Province, 400 km (249 mi) north of the capital city of Salta, and 55 km (34 mi) from the city of Tartagal on National Route 34 in General José de San Martín Department, on the international border with Bolivia.
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.
