    Arriving and exploring salta

    4. helmikuuta 2023, Argentiina

    I arrived at 10:00 (3h delay because of the rain) with Aziz in Salta. I met Stefan again, because I gave him his towel back😂💪🏽

    I have seen Jana and Charlotte again:) they wanted to have breakfast and needed to make their laundry, so I decided to explore salta. I bought food on the street before getting around.

    I went to the Cerro San Bernardo with the cable car and saw salta from above. Nice view! Salta is more green as I expected. As Santiago, salta is surrounded by mountains (today I learned, the Incas made that consciously).

    I got recognised, that the people are looking more „black“ so are more similar to Bolivians.

    I explored after that the Center of Salta & I went to the Mercado Municipal San Miguel (Big Market) and to the Museum of High Altitude Archaeology. I learned sth about the Incas there. After that I went to the hostel, got in touch with Lena (Dutch) and I bought with her and Jana and Charlotte some food for the roadtrip.

    They are all vegan, so went went to a nice vegan restaurant (Steaks are still better😂), after I bought a coffee and informed myself about colonializations of the world

    Now our roadtrip is starting tomorrow! I am so excited!!    Lue lisää

    First Day of the Roadtrip: Cachi

    5. helmikuuta 2023, Argentiina

    Today I had a nice and huge breakfast in the morning and after that Lena, Charlotte and myself went to the car rental point.
    Because Charlotte felt more safe with a Chevrolet, we rented this car. I drove the first hours and the car is really nice to drive.
    To see me green nature there is so amazing 😍 we drove up a huge mountain area and saw amazing landscapes.

    We also have seen a cactuses area, which impressed me. I cuttend one cactus & the mass was „glibbrig mit viel Wasser“.

    We stopped before of Cachi by a carnival & we got smashed with water and soam😂 haha it was funny!!

    We went to dinner in the evening and I shared a vegan Cusco salad. I really enjoy trying out this food, but a nice beef would be also nice😂

    Now we are sleeping in Cachi and we will head to cafayete tomorow.

    Second day of the Roadtrip: Cafayate

    6. helmikuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ 🌙 8 °C

    I was the first awake and I had a nice walk till we got the breakfast at the restaurant of the hostel in Cachi

    Charlotte began to drive and when she was driving backwards in Cachi she almost hit one Motorrad driver😂

    We also had a less crowded view when we drove down of the mountain😍 After we tanked in Salta we went down to Cafayate, where it looks quite similar from the landscape as in the Grand Canyon. I really enjoyed driving trough this sooooo amazing landscape !!

    We had a few stops, but the better ones are coming tomorow. After checking in in Cafayate, we rested a little bit and wanted to drive route 40, which is known for its dangerous road because of rivers crossing the streets. Because our car is not the best for that, we went back fastly. So we were eating ice cream and went to a really nice bodega and we had nice food there #meeeet😂
    We chilled at the bar in the hostel after that and the evening was so chilled    Lue lisää

    Third day of the roadtrip:Cafayate/Salta

    7. helmikuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    At breakfast we found a new friend: the dog of the hostel.😂
    We drove to an nice VIEWPOINT closby and had a nice walk there, where we also made some pictures hehe.

    After that we went to a longer hike, to see an amazing nature and very colourful mountains. I showed Jana and Charlotte a cuttend cactus😂💪🏽

    After that we drove to a canyon, which really impressed me.

    After that had a brake and ate some nice empanadas and played Yatzi. After that I began to drive and we figured out where we want to sleep. We booked a nice apartment closby salta with a pool and an amazing landscape😍 we went to the pool there and I chilled 30 min only watching the nice landscape. I love the green nature here & it is so quiet here 😍

    It is interesting to see how fast the landscape changes from Cafayate (dry) to cachi and salta (green)

    Jana and Charlotte made a nice dinner for us and we watched a Netflix Serie after that.

    Exhausting day, very nice views and a really relaxed evening, what a day!!    Lue lisää

    We chilled in the nice hostel in a hammock and, played some cards and ate at an Italian restaurant. I hade a nice Pizza with bacon and champions.

    5. day of the trip: 14 colored mountain

    9. helmikuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Charlotte and Jana didn’t felt well, so Lena and myself went to the 14th coloured mountain. The altitude was 4.340m and when we were walking a little bit up i felt the attitude. The coloured mountain were very impressive!!

    We wanted to see another nice point, but we drove 1 1/2h trough the „Pampa“. We arrived at 6 at the hostel and got some food afterwards.    Lue lisää

    6. Day of the Trip: Salinas Grandes+Hike

    10. helmikuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

    We woke up at 4:00 to drive to a salt flat (Salinas Grandes) so the sunrise there. We took Helena from Germany with us & I drove in the morning. The drive was good & I am also the person who drives the most in the last at home, so I would say I had the most driving experience.

    We arrived at 6:30 and we saw the sunrise & I also tasted some salt. Because it was raining in the night, everything was reflecting on the salt flat. In general the salt flat is more dry & below this salt flat is Lithium. (3400m)

    It was also amazing to see, how the building were made: out of salt plates. Also a lama and a pot were there out of salt. It was impressive how strong this „buildings“ were.

    After that we went to Purmamarca, where the seven colours mountains are & we had breakfast at 9:00 there.

    I went after that with Helena on a hike around 4h in this region & it was an motivated hike, because we were hiking up higher, after we saw a nicer VIEWPOINT. We also climbed there. The view was amazing and much better as on the seven colours mountain I would say.

    I showed her also a cuttend cactus hehe & we saw a climate station there. I really enjoyed the Adrenalin hike with her.

    After we went down, we catched some cold drinks, went to a park & drove back to the hostel with the bus. I decided to go a detour & join the girls to the uyuni tour and after that to the Atacama dessert (my plan was is to do it in another way around).

    Now I will go tomorrow to the border and sleep there, but there is no hostel available anymore😂 we will see how it goes hahaha.

    In summary I have seen everything what I wanted during the road trip and I enjoyed the time very very much. Also it was a little bit more chilled travelling with the girls, because I want to be sometimes to active.    Lue lisää

    Stopping at the border town La Quiaca

    11. helmikuuta 2023, Argentiina ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Today we gave our car back at the airport of Jujuj after 2h of drive. At zhe place of delivery were two people standing on the parking point of the airport 😂💪🏽

    After having a huge breakfast at the airport we drove with a taxi to the bus terminal in Jujuj, because two Ubers were not coming, but they confirmed in two times the drive 🤬😂

    We bought our tickets to the border crossing point to Bolivia: La Quiaca.
    After 1 1/2h of waiting at the bus terminal we drove 5h to La Quiaca and it started heavily to rain when we arrived. In Bolivia it also rains much all people say, we will see!
    We also saw on the way a carnival, which was nice.

    It was possible, that we can move one mattress into the 3 person room of the girls, but we don’t have a lot space here, but my bed is ok. I also had a nice bife de chorizo at dinner.
    We stay to days in Uyuni and want to do a 3 night and 4 day tour at salar de Uyuni (biggest salt flat of the earth) to see geyser, hot springs, the salt flat of course and the National park there.

    Arriving in Uyuni

    12. helmikuuta 2023, Bolivia ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    After breakfast we crossed the border from Argentina to Bolivia in between 30 mins. They didn’t scanned our luggage, which surprised us.

    At the border we saw Shira(Isreal) again and 4 other girls of here. They didn’t had any clue where they should withdraw money, so they Followed us😂

    We drove after withdrawal money to Tupiza and after that to Uyuni.

    Our hostel is nice, but you see on the infrastructure (buses) and on the buildings, that Bolivia is the poorest country in South America.

    I made laundry & cooked for the evening pasta. We are exhausted after the drive and also with the altitude is not easy to deal with (3500m). During the road trip we drove a lot up and down & I feel tired and exhausted because of that. But I would say compared to the girls I am getting along with that at the best.
    We played a funny and competitive skippo in the evening and want to relax tomorrow as well as buying tickets for the Uyuni tour.    Lue lisää

    First day of the Salar de Uyuni tour!!

    14. helmikuuta 2023, Bolivia ⋅ 🌩️ 20 °C

    We booked a tour for 3 days (Spanish because it is cheaper) at the Salar de Uyuni, which is the biggest salt flat on earth with the biggest lithium reserve in South America. I also booked on our „chill day“ my flight to GUAYAQUIL (South of Ecuador) at the 12.03 from La Paz.

    I skip Peru now, as well as the Northern part of Peru, where the riots are not sooo heavily.

    Unfortunately Lena felt sick at the first day, so she was not able to join there.

    They still mine the salt with the hand after the rain season. It needs to get dry (with fire) and Iod will be added after that process step. The different levels on the are getting the plates because of sand and different salt years. (So it is not only salt there ; deepest point 18m)

    The salt flat also gets every year bigger and bigger, because when it rains, the mountain takes some more salta into the salt flat and after „verdunsten“, the salt will stay there. Crazy.

    They also want to mine the lithium below the salt flat, but the government changed and there is no big plan right not how to mine the lithium. Unbelievable🤦🏼‍♂️🙈
    (Currently lithium mine Situation: Australia 52%, Chile 25, China 13, Argentina 9 + Rest. Especially with the electric vehicles an interesting topic.)

    To our tour:
    We started at 11:00, when we first went to a Railroad Museum. They transported mostly silver. which was mined in Potosi to Chile, where it can also be shipped.

    After that we went to Museo de la Sal, where we got in touch how the salt is
    produced. (See above)

    After that we drove over the Salar the Uyuni, which is on a lover sea level as other salt flats & that’s the reason why it is in this region the biggest (Water and Verdunsten 😉) We saw also big holes in the salt flats, which impressed me.

    We ate lunch and saw from far away flamingos. Amazing.

    We also made a lot of pictures to see the reflection on the salt flat because of the water there. Most parts are at the raining season not dry.

    In the evening we saw the sunset and that impressed me soooooooo much! It was the beautifullest sunset I have ever seen in my life. Especially with the reflection.
    We drunk wine and drove back to a nice hotel, where we had a good lunch.

    During the tour a married couple (Jan and Kathie) was with us. I am now sleeping in a private double room, because Lena is not sleeping in our hostel. Hopefully she is feeling better tomorrow, that she can join us for the next day and also for the border crossing to the Atacama dessert.    Lue lisää
