Lots of cacti.
Las Salinas, the salt flats. This used to be a huge lake that over time became this vast sea of salt. Very weird.
View from the bus as we drove back from the salt flats. Pretty amazing. Also note that there are a few houses and some farmland down there, definitely a good two hours or so from any town...
Beautiful Purmamarca. The colors of the land there were just amazing.
More Purmamarca. This whole hike was breathtaking. The land barely looked real.Overall, the trip provided an interesting link between this semester and my high school semester in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Being in the Andes again meant the culture, land, and general feeling of Jujuy were much more like what I experienced in the other Andean countries than here in Buenos Aires. This city is its own little universe, so it was cool to see that a place like Jujuy exists in Argentina, albeit close to the Bolivian border.
