... around saying hello to tourists. Anyway this dog had lots of energy and started chasing the stones that Evan was kicking as he walked. The dog ended up following us for our whole 3km walk around the hill and didn't tire for a second. She had an insatiable appetite for rock-fetching and didn't seem concerned about straying from the village.<br><br>That night, partly to delay returning to our freezing but cheap accommodation, we went out to dinner at the town's ...

... of the valley, we stopped at Maimara where the mountains seemed to be painted by God - the best view of these wonderful mountains was in fact at the cemetary. The first majour town inside the Quebrada is Tilcara where the Incas built a fortress. We wandered around the narrow streets of this lovely town before heading further north towards Humahuaca, some 40km further north. Km 15240- Humahuaca (2940m) Humahuaca is ...

... Purmamarca und die Strasse fuerht ueber Serpentinen den Berg runter, leider ist es schon fast dunkel und so kann man nicht mehr allzu viel von der Landschaft erkennen.

... déjà à chauffer, le ciel est tout bleu. Tout est calme, les autres campeurs commencent doucement à se réveiller et à sortir de leur tentes. Alors que je commence à m'activer pour aller prendre une douche, je me retourne et lève les yeux pour m'apercevoir que je suis en face de la montagne aux 7 couleurs! Quelle agréable surprise de grand matin... J'emballe mes affaires et sors finalement du camping vers 10 heures avec une note de 24 pesos. Je pars en visite ...

... auf zum Mirador... wo wir dann auf den nicht wirklich vorhandenen Sonnenuntergang anstiessen. Am Abend fand Matthias heraus, dass Llama-Fleisch nicht zu seinen Favoriten gehoert. Frueh am naechsten Morgen bestiegen wir den zweiten Mirador, von welchem wir den wunderbaren Blick auf das Dorf und die farbigen Felsen im Morgenlicht genossen. Begleitet von einem wunderbaren Zmorgen, bestehend aus 1l Milch und eine Packung Schocko ...

... the town of San Antonio de los Cobres, a dusty and poor town situated along the Tren a las Nubes route. We haven´t seen anyone all day so we stop briefly to chat to some tourists who are waiting for their broken down minibus to be fixed. The people are incredibly friendly and we pick up a young guy hitching to Salta. The road from San Antonio to Salta runs in parallel to the Tren de las Nubes route. Jimmy chats to us about his life. He works during the week ...
