A quick jump to Salta!

From Humahuaca, Henri and I embarked on a breathtaking 3 hour road trip to Salta, surrounded by stunning mountains the entire way. The joirney itself was a visual treat and it was nice to be travelling in a car. 🛣️

We had hoped to experience the famous ‘Train to the Clouds,’ but since this leg of my trip was unplanned, I hadn’t realized it required booking weeks in advance. So the stay in Salta was brief but nice.

We explored the town, enjoyed a typical Peña, and hiked up to the cable car station, which offered fantastic views of the entire city. The Peña was a highlight, filling the night with joyful music, beautiful dancing, and a traditional Argentinian BBQ that left us in a delightful food coma. The next day’s hike to the cable car station was a perfect way to walk off some of that delicious food. 🥩 🍷💃🏻

The morning after, Henri and I parted ways, as we were heading to Cafayate via different routes. I wanted to stay an extra day in Salta to find a post office, send Lukas the poncho I'd been carrying since Cusco and mail a few postcards. 📦 💌

From there I took a bus to Cafayate and to our surprise, we ended up at the same hostel! 🏨Read more
