- Salinas Grandes
From Cafayate I caught an 8 AM departure for Salta. It was a beautiful ride, but I so wanted to stop, roam around and take picture. The photos posted are all compromised by being “window shots”, and I know that I missed a BUNCH!
Upon arrival in Salta at shortly past noon, I “trudged” the streets looking for a hostel with vacancy. This turned out to be no easy task and after an hour I gave up on the hostel and book a room in a hotel less than two bocks off the main center Salta (the cost was more, but so was the comfort).
Knowing that time was short and wanting to make the most of it I booked a two day trip to the north of Salta to see the Salinas Grandes (Salt Flats) and the Quebrada de Humahuaca.
This was my first experience with an Argentina travel agency and it might be my last. While trip was well conducted and partially in English, I found myself one again frustrated somewhat by my inability to stop when and where I wanted, but mostly by the amount of time dedicated to each stop. In all fairness – “What was I expecting?”
In any case, I gave up the second day of the trip (even though was paid for) and chose instead to travel east to Asuncion, Paraguay.
