Jujuy Travel Blogs

Background: Following independence from Spain in 1816, Argentina experienced periods of internal political conflict between conservatives and liberals and between civilian and military factions. After World War II, a long period of Peronist authoritarian rule and interference in subsequent governments was followed by a military junta that took power in 1976. Democracy returned in 1983, and numerous elections since then have underscored Argentina's progress in democratic consolidation.

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]

einige tage spaeter dann noch in eine kleinere salzwueste aufgebrochen.. das war auch gaaaaanz toll.. wie ihr merkt.. zurzeit ist grad alles ganz schoen und toll in leckeren farben.. was wahrscheinlich den ursprung hat, dass sich meine reise langsam dem ende neigt, und ich zu erfassen beginne, dass es langsam abschied nehmen heisst.. (und in dem war ich halt schon immer ne nuss) [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone! Right now Dain and I are at the front desk of our hostel in the city of Salta waiting for our car rental to show up, its already a half hour late. We are going south to visit the cities and national parks south of the town of Salta. First we will head towards Cachi, making a stop halfway to trek and explore. Then we´ll move towards Cafayate again stopping at a halfway point to get a good look around. After Cafayate we head north back towards Salta stopping to see the dam. We have the car for 3 [View Full Entry]

Dag 43. Bilen skulle hente oss paa hostellet kl 07:00, saa vi maatte tidlig opp. Selvfolgelig var dette argentinsk tid - vi ble hentet litt over halv aatte. Vi hadde bestilt turen med engelsktalende guide, og det viste seg at vi var de eneste som ikke var fra Argentina. Saa vi fikk en guide helt for oss selv. Kjempekjekk jente, Anna. Anna er 35 aar, og har laert seg englesk paa egenhaand - veldig disiplinert. De forste timene av turen gikk paa motorvei, saa vi ble anbefalt aa sove litt. Det var ikke saerlig lett siden den spanske guiden/sjaaforen maste i [View Full Entry]

Chapitre 1 : Detente a Humahuaca (du 17 au 19 Juillet) Salut la compagnie, nous avons donc finalement quitte notre chere Bolivie pour entrer en Argentine. On zappe San Pedro de Atacama au Chili pour rallier Tupiza a la Quiaca tout d abord. Et oui, nous faisons l impasse sur cette belle ville de San Pedro car archi touristique parait il, et car elle, parait il, ressemble quand meme pas mal aux villes qu on a pu voir dans le sud bolivien. Next time donc ! Le passage de la frontiere s etant bien passe, nous partons vers la gare routiere [View Full Entry]

Buenos Aires The capital of Argentina and what a great place to start our big trip. We were lucky enough to arrive on a Sunday when the weekly San Telmo antiques fair was on. It´s held in Plaza Dorrego, and we happened to be staying around the corner. With the market came lots of live music, and we even caught some live tango later in the evening. First impressions of Buenos Aires, is that it´s so European - the buildings, and just the whole feel of the place. Things that struck us though are the broken footpaths, and lots of holes [View Full Entry]

Mandag d. 14 Juli: Tur nordpå til Jujuy Sundhedstilstand Inger og Per er blevet blandingsmisbrugere. Vi lever nu på sugetableter, næsespray og Asperin / Ibuprofen. Vi vågner først kl 6.30 men når at være klar til bussen kl 7. Igen er de første timer ren transport. Derefter begynder Humahuaga dalen, der er udpeget som World Heritage område. Det skyldes både landskabet og indianerkulturen. Ved den lille indianer landsby Purmamarca ser vi “Cerro de los 7 Coleres” et bjerg med 7 forskellige farver. Farverne skyldes iltning af de forskellige mineraler, som bjerget består af. [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]
