TRANSFER TO SALTA




After packing the cases for the numerous time, we were en route to our last destination of our Northern Argentina tour.  Taking the road north to Salta the scenery is dramatic with desolate beauty, a dessert with rock formations that rise up and are mineral-rich in colour.

We stopped off at Shell Canyon which once upon a dinosaur time ago was a waterfall and is now an eco-amphitheatre where the local musicians (most of which look like Europeans who were trying to raise mone...

SACRIFICED CHILDREN - NOT OURS!




Up late (hooray) and out for a city excursion with Roman.  We went straight to the main square, Plaza 9 de Julio and to the High Mountain Archaeology Museum (MAAM).  This museum houses the three preserved children's bodies from the summit of Cerro Llullaillaco in the Andes Range.  These children had been offered as sacrifice to the Inca gods.   The bodies along with the other items offered, miniature dolls, bags made out of feathers and containing coca leaves and jewellery were ex...

BUREACRATIC POSTAL NIGHTMARE



Well I have stood in some post office queues at home for ages and met some jobs worthy individuals but nothing has prepared me for the bureaucratic postal systems in Argentina and Bolivia.  Thankfully in Bolivia I was accompanied by our guide but here in Salta it was just the Priest Family. 

We had spent all morning (albeit a leisurely breakfast as it was our day off) preparing all the gifts we had purchased for postage.  Knowing that we had the 1pm curfew we sprinted to the p...

... and one lens shattered. Frustrated, I went to withdraw money and the ATM decided to KEEP my debit card...that was it, I was downright ******.<br><br>Sophie was supportive, despite my curtness, as I calmed down over hot chocolate and a much needed empanada. We discussed our options and decided to go with the a nice woman who offered a private room for $6.50 each. Hot water, internet, a communal kitchen, and a complimentary taxi ...

... be done without the on-going saga that finding me a home had become. (By this time I'd even had a conversation with Elena which went along the lines of "This is my Plan B, Daniel. If we cant find you a GOOD house and family in Salta by the end of April you´ll be moving to Córdoba" (not a plan I was against at all, at this point, as I was still struggling to bond with Salta)). A family interviewed me on Wednesday of that week and informed us, rather frankly, that their son was an only ...

Me and my gaucho

... out in the country with a company called Sayta near a wee village called Chicoana. Got picked up in the morning by a very good looking argentinian guy called Federico (Argentinian men are very good looking. Never a bad thing), who drove me and 4 others out to the 'ranch' where we had a bit of breakfast and then got kitted out with our half chaps. No helmet! We were riding the gaucho way! Met our gauchos, one of whom was called Rafael and we all got helped onto ...

Day 25!

After our flying visit to Chile we head to Salta Argentina today. Left town around 10 am which begun an 11 hour trip on the bus. To get to Salta we had to head back north towards the Bolivian border, East to the Argentinian border and then south into Agrentina. Why there isnt a more direct road i have no idea! Not a great deal happened today. More cards ...

Salta

... On the way back from the bus station you pass a cable car that goes up a big hill. 12 pesos later I am on top of the hill after a lovely chat with a french girl(She could not escape we were in a cable car). At the top of the hill there are beautiful views of Salta. It is a lot cooler than on the ground. There is also lots of running water up there. Very tranquil. I then head back to the hostel and a have a Siesta. My laundry is ready at 8:00 pm. I ...
