Went on a day trip to Humahuaca on Tuesday which is a town 3 hours north of Salta. We left at 7am when the temperature was about -5C! The valley you drive through to get there is beautiful as the mountains are all multicoloured and nicknamed the seven coloured mountians. The colours are due to the different deposits of rock in the ocean before the andes were uplifted. There was also a place called the artists palette which literaklly is bands of colours alon...

On Friday I had a look round a museum which is dedicated to the discovery of 3 inca children on the top of a mountain in the ...

I got a semi cama bus but actually sat in a cama seat which was a bonus as they are bigger and more comfortable! I stayed in a great hos...

I got a bus to Puerto Iguazu on Tuesday.I had been told about how good the buses in Argentina are and they really are amazing! You have an option of buying a semi-cama, cama or suite seat. The differences are in the angle that your seat reclines back to and the quality of food and drink you are served during the journey. I went for the cheapest semi-cama option and it was just like being on a plane only with more room! We had a hot meal for dinner and then a br...
