Humhuaca and San Antonio

Well a big day for us today. Had to get the wake up call at 5:15 after having dinner with a very nice couple from Pennsylvania who live here 6 months of the year. Got to bed late, up early.




A couple of days ago we went to Humhuaca. Artist pallette hillsides and adobe villages. Just beautiful. Ended up very close to the Bolivian border. The coca leaves really work helping with altitude. Pity I can't bring a big packet into Australia. But I've watched border patrol so I won't even try. Below is the artist's pallette hillside.

Yesterday up to a cloud forest with a commanding view over all of Salta.

Today, we take a bus to San Antonio, 4000 m above sea level. It goes parallel with the Tren a las Nubes which got washed out last summer. Then we come back to the bus station and get an overnight bus to Cordoba where the adventure continues. Have loaded up the Kindle, MP3 player, computer, camera and Maureen's Kobo. Hope I haven't left any cables behind. Will be doing about 1400 km.

Local wines new but delicious. Humitas and empandas delicious.
