Nothing wrong can happen!

After the yesterday´s story, today I will explain what is the Difunta correa one. It appears that from time to time you can see some small vault (hope I translated it correctly!)(capillas ou chapelle in french) on the side of the road. Difunta correa is the story that happened 150 years ago. A...

From the hospital to the church

Another day of surprises! Following the not very large road (sometimes I didn´t want to think if the local bus will appear in front of me in the next curve!), one could clearly see 2 different types of landscape on the right and left. Desertic red on the right and green, rich (because of the...

Higher than the Mont Blanc!

The reward of the cold night was there. After a 30 min walk I could be very close to the laguna and observe the pink and red floyds. On my way some vicunas surprised to see someone walking there at that time. Having reached the northern point of my travel, it was now time to finally follow...

I see red :-)

Today leaving Cafayate to Salta, Jujuy and then the very touristic place Purmamarca. The highlight today was the quebrada de las conchas (also called quebrada de Cafayate). Everything is red and every corner is full of surprise.

Small hell ...

Today, I left Tucuman a bit south to go to Cafayate (2nd capital of wine after Mendoza). I took a small interesting road that climbs till 3054 meter to reach the "paso infernillo" literally "small hell" ou "petit enfer". On the Tucuman side it was all green (and rainy) and on the other side like...

Going north

San Miguel de Tucuman is a very nice and dynamic city. It is also the city where the independance of Argentina was declared on the 9th of July 1816. Around the place of independance, a lot of very nice monuments. Here the San Francisco church. On the other side, I discover another culinary...

Going north of Argentina

After coming back from Peru last week, I had a break in Buenos Aires, Argentina to prepare the second part of the trip. The goal is to travel first north to reach La Quiaca at the Bolivian border and then follow the road 40 to the south. This road follows basically the Andes. I will use it as...

Gaucho country - yee haa!

San Pedro is a tiny little village in the Atacama Desert which is surrounded by some spectacular scenery. It was a cool experience just being here in the driest desert in the world. We had a couple of days to recoup from Bolivia and then were off again heading to Salta in Northern Argentina. ...
