North of SALTA Off to the Querada de Humahuaca region. Got our car and some empanadas and hit the road. Feels good to be in a car. Paul's driving, as he's the only one with a drivers license, even though its issued from Cook Island (long story). I left my at home and am a bit bummed cause I do love to drive. But it's been nice to look out the window and just enjoy the landscape. The road just north of Salta is super windy and I do get car sick so we had to stop off for a bit [View Full Entry]

Our first set down in the Argentinian Andes was Salta. Salta for me was pleasant enough, but it suffers a bit in comparison with the last few towns we´ve been in: Buenos Aires, Bariloche and Mendoza. However it´s a pretty interesting comparison as it´s nothing like the rest of Argentina. Instead it´s got more in common with the Andean regions of Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador, and not just because it´s chilly. This is the one region in Argentina where there´s still an large indigenous populace, and the European descendants appear to be in the minority. You can get pretty much anything [View Full Entry]

Quebrada de Humahuaca Stunning scenery, great hiking, a UNESCO world heritage site and the chance to see a way of life that has all but disappeared in the rest of Argentina are just some of the memories we have from seeing the Quebrada de Humahuaca. Jujuy may be Argentina's poorest and least-visited province, but it's rich in natural wonders, with one of the country´s finest sights, the Quebrada de Humahuaca (Humahuaca Gorge), a stunning gorge through the Andes which stretches from San Salvador de Jujuy up to the the Bolivian border. The main road through the Quebrada is Ruta 9, [View Full Entry]

Saltan maakunta jai taakse muutamia paivia sitten, ja nyt ollaan Jujuyn maakunnan pohjoisosassa Humahuacassa. Saltasta matkustettiin ensin pariksi yoksi San Salvador de Jujuyhin ennen tanne pohjoiseen tuloa. Jujuy ei ole ihan niin viehattava, kuin mita Salta oli, mutta kylla siellakin oli ihan kiva kavaista. Jujuyssa pysahdyksen tarkoituksena oli kayda yhdessa museossa ja opaskirjan suosittelemilla kuumilla lahteilla... Museo oli niin pieni, etta sen kiersi vartissa ja kuumat lahteet eivat olleet ihan sita, mita oli odotettu. Kylpeminen jai valiin, mutta saatiinpahan taas jokunen nolo tila [View Full Entry]

I'm going to let the Quebrada de Humahuaca speak for itself, through photos...It's easier to understand the incredible colors, the depth of the beauty this place projects. This was my experience along the Quebrada: Starting on my first day in San Salvador de Jujuy, the capital of Jujuy province in northwestern Argentina, I took a day trip to Purmamarca, a charming little place, just for a couple of hours to get my introduction to the area. I had passed through the night before, as part of my hellish bus day, but it had been too dark then to see what was [View Full Entry]
