From Iguassu falls I had a 26 hour bus journey across Argentina to Salta, one of Argentina´s most traditional cities. The city itself was beautiful, although covered in grafiti. My first stop was a cable car trip up into the mountains behind the city, where I could see the whole of Salta from above, and all the mountains around it. Next I headed back down into the city to explore a little and then to a museum which holds the mumified bodies of children ritually sacraficed by the Incas. Their bodies were preserved in the snow in the Andes, and only recently discovered, and they´re supposed to be some of the best preserved corpses in the world. Interesting, but fairly grusome to look at. The museum also included all sorts of artifacts that they were buried with, mostly minuature versions of everyday tools, often made out of gold. That night was a traditional Argentinian barbeque back at the hostel, with Gaucho (Argentine cowboys) music and dancing. Myself and another English girl I met in the hostel managed to get a free bottle of wine in return for helping prepare the salads, so most of the evening was spent chopping vegetables with the Gaucho´s heavily preganant wife! The second day I went on a tour with the hostel, to a town called Cachi- a trip called the ´journey into the clouds´. The drive took us through various small towns, and through acres and acres of barren, cactus filled land. Cachi itself was a beautiful town. That night, along with some Irish girls in the hostel, I caught a bus to the Bolivan border.
