Humahuaca, NORTHERN ARGENTINA

From Buenos Aires I arrived in the northern town of Salta (18 hours bus ride) and from there onwards to the little rusty muddy one-horse village of Humahuaca (another 4.5 hours). The village of 6,200 people, mostly of the Quechuan tribe, is 3000m above sea. Nestled in the most amazing mountains and rock formations, its an interesting town with very interesting looking people. Had dinner at quite a nice restaurant. Most of the meat was Llama...and of course I love Llama meat.

Tomorrow morning early further north to cross the Argentina / Bolivia border at the town of La Quiaca (Argentina) and Villazon (Bolivia). From there I head further north and hope to sleep 8 hours north tonight in the village of Uyuni. Next morning early I hope to get on a 4 wheel drive to tour the salt lakes and thermo area for 4 days. Till later. Adios.

Give more love and devotion than you get and you will get more than you expect
