Gaining an understanding of Argentina means more than just hanging out in trendy restaurants and binging on beef and wine in Buenos Aires. (Not that there´s anything wrong with that.)

And so we journeyed to the province of Salta, way up north near the Bolivian border and encountered an Argentina we hadn´t yet seen . We traveled north along an Inca Road to Humahuaca, through Indian villages, andean markets and old-school cemetaries. We went south to Cafayate, and gawked at the colourful rock formations caused by millions of years of erosion. And of course, we visited the wineries and sampled Torrontes, the white wine Cafayate is famous for. Did I mention the llamas? They were everywhere.

Back in Salta, we checked out the world´s best preserved mummy – a child sacrificed to the Apus (sacred mountain gods) in the 15th century. A little freaky, but cool.

We clearly have only just begun to scratch the surface of Argentina. Next stop: Bariloche.
