Salta - just like Europe

Felt like it was one of those places were u enter and never be seen from again (sort of the start of a horror movie).. shame I guess we just mistrust friendliness and extreme enthusiasm.

In the afternoon we head to the Museum of High Altitude Archaeology (known as MAAM) as we thought we should learn something useful.
