Purmamarca

Finally made it to western union for cash, and took a bus for a few hours to the capital Jujuy, then another bus north to the village of Purmamarca. Super cool landscape here with multicoloured mountains and bright red cliffs. It’s just a tiny tourist village, busy with mostly Argentine tourists. Dropped my stuff and straight away did a mini hike around the mountain near the, with the setting sun illuminating the awesome rock formations. A nice little spot.

Not much to do in the evening and I can’t seem to find any good social hostels. This one was okay but kinda empty. It’s shoulder season or the start of off season I guess so that’s part of it. I did. chat with an interesting woman who grew up on a sailboat around the world, lives in Uruguay now, and sails with her brother to Antarctica sometimes. Her brother also sailed the Northwest passage in a mini catamaran. Crazy!
There was a political rally thing next door so they played loud music and had a crazy drum band until like midnight 😂Read more
