The Salta and Jujuy provinces of Argentina are located in the northwest corner and border Chile, Bolivia, and Paraguay. While here, we learned about Pachamama (Mother Earth) and her stunning landscapes. The untouched desert terrain was breathtaking as we stopped along RN40 to climb the viewpoint at Mirador El Ventisquero, which allowed us to see the otherworldly rock formations that went on as far as the eye could see.

The next day we visited the charming village of Purmamarca. I can’t tell you how much I wish I was a better photographer after only half succeeding at capturing the magnificent colors of Cerro de los Siete Colores (The Hill of Seven Colors) that surround the main square craft market featuring local artisans.
