interesting subject matter and not for the squemish, but a very good introduction into the beliefs of the Inca's.

Being a tourist
Na onze eenzaamheid in de Sierras hadden we goede hoop voor Salta. De touristenhoofdstad van het Noord-Westen van Argentinië en zelfs beschreven als architectureel aantrekkelijk. Het plan was om onzelf daar te installeren en vanaf daar allerlei activiteiten in de omgeving te doen.
Dat is goed gelukt! Bij aankomst hadden we al gelijk … -

Farewell to Argentina
We arrived in Salta early in the morning after a terrible bus trip. We'd had minimal sleep and the film they had shown us was Rise of the Planet of the Apes…..which is truly awful!
The city of Salta is fairly small and there aren’t a lot of sights to see. However, the surrounding countryside is beautiful and there are many … -

The journey across Argentina to Bolivia: Part 2
Corrientes; how do I sum it up? Boring? Slow? Not worth it? The first two definitely, the last, well, I guess it was worth stopping in at to break up the mass of bus rides and get in some decent rest/down time.
Since the last entry, we did a lot more walking around the town, and to be perfectly honest, there wasn't a lot else to it. Back … -

The journey across Argentina to Bolivia: Part 3
With the impending midnight bus ride, a full day to kill and not a left lot to do, we knew from the beginning that there was going to be a lot of sitting around.
Just a side note as it came to mind: One thing I have really noticed over here in South America, they know how to make good coffee. This isn't at flash cafe's either, small places … -

Smooth Salta
As I'm writing this we are making our way up the Quebrada de Humahuaca — a valley north of Salta — towards Tilcara. We've just spent 3 days in nice and tidy Salta.
We arrived on Sunday evening after the comfy 19 hour bus ride from Buenos Aires to find grey skies and rain drops as we walked towards the hostel (Hostel 7 Duendes) that … -

Salta
It took two buses and 24 hours to reach Salta, the Flechabus did give us a nice dinner but we both couldn't look at another dulce-de-leche sweet every again! Argentineans LOVE sugar!
As we arrived we knew we were going to be happy here. A city nestled amongst large bright green hills, absolutely beautiful, even at 7am with not much sleep.< …
