Tilcara & Salta

Well, for some reason the first post got deleted so here we go again....

After splitting up from my British buddies, I tried to get to Tilcara, which turned out to be more difficult than I thought. Tarija, the city I was told to go to, did not offer any buses going to Argentina before Thursday which would have meant that I needed to wait there 2 days. Obviously that hasn’t been an option so I left to Bermejo. From there I had the most spectacular border crossing experience I had so far. I just passed a river by boat and there were no control points anywhere to see which is why I got scared this might be illegal.

Luckily it turned out to be all legal so I could take a bus from Aqua Blanca to Salta and then to Tilcara. I arrived at 2am and there was no one but a homeless and dogs on the street. The hostel was already closed but they heard me knocking so after 20 minuets thinking what might be my other options they opened the door. In Tilcara Ingot to see the 14 colored mountain

For some reason I thought I might not need to put on sun screen that day

From Tilcara I went to Salta where I am enjoying a few relaxed days.

Salta is a nice place to be and I am really enjoying my time over here.

Hear you soon
