Arrivée à Salta, de nouveau une assez grosse ville après de petits villages, ça fait toujours un choc. Personnellement, je préfère de loin un endroit tranquille comme Cafayate que Salta. Enfin, le centre est assez joli, il y a pas mal de batiments coloniaux, quelques bons muséset une belle vue depuis la colline qui domine la ville. Il fait aussi...

Did you know that the romans used to pay for things with salt. And supposedly (the tour guide says) thats where we got the term sala-ry. Some latin root or something, who knows. But I spent 22 hours on a bus to get up to the salt flats, so by god let me dream! So heres the scoop. #1 cardinal rule when traveling. If you expect to go on an expedit...

After 12 hours of stomach churning agony, winding through bumpy mountain roads with an over enthusiastic driver, we finally crossed the border back into Argentina, the homeland as it is now affectionately nicknamed! Passports were stamped, sick-bags were filled (luckily not by me) and eventually we pulled into Salta, northern Argentina. Our dutc...

Today we travelled across the Argentinean border to Salta. Going from Bolivia to Argentina felt being transported from different worlds. Bolivia was dirty, backwards, poor, with uneven potholed roads and shacks as houses. Argentina has beautifully paved roads, streetlamps, Barratt-homes style houses, and shopping malls with Western chain stores....

Sunday morning and finally we are escaping the fisting town of San Pedro. What´s more we are crossing the border again, this time into Argentina. I must say, I´ve been looking forward to this for the whole trip. We´ve had a fantastic time in Peru and Bolivia but a bit of roughing it makes you realise that you´re a city boy at heart. Argentina pr...

(the scene: 1st day back in Salta after Humahuacu, quiet morning 8a omelet breakfast at a café) I hate coming back here after having an opportunity to be gone to somewhere quieter that I liked better. I intend to do absolutely everything I can today to seek out these moments of silence today which I so crave. The things which I have absolutely h...

Again, we´d booked ahead and were met at the bus station and driven straight to the hostel. We´d been told good things about the social backpacker scene in Salta and assumed it seemed quiet because we´d been put into the ´double room` hostel of ´Backpackers Soul`. Again we had a TV and en suite and unlike at Iguazu we fully utilized them, regula...
