Tilcara

Wanted to do another hike in Purmamarca but the trail was closed I think, so without much more to do, I took a bus further north to Tilcara. Another little village, a bit bigger but similar vibe. Checked into a hostel where I was the only one lol. But actually kinda nice with a good view, hammocks to chill in etc.
Then hiked to the Garganta del Diablo (everything is named after the devil here). It was about an hour hike to a sort of waterfall (not that impressive), and a canyon that was cool. Also just interesting landscape with more weird mountains and 3-meter cactuses 🌵. Getting back to high altitude again (2900m) so I felt that a little too. Afterwards did a little look around the Pucara de Tilcara, the ruins of an Incan fort from just before the Spanish arrival. They had reconstructed quite a lot of it so you got a feel for what it was like. Pretty cool!Baca lagi
