Quebrada de Humahuaca

Another beautiful place north of Salta that we were lucky enough to get to visit, thanks to Dr. Diaz...who took Wednesday off to drive Lori and I there with two of the residents.
Described in the guide book as "a harsh but vivid landscape, a dry but river-soured canyon overlooked by mountainsides whose sedimentary strata have been eroded into spectacular scalloped formations that reveal a spectrum of colors in undulating waves."

More beautiful rocks & colors
We had a really great time getting to see more of beautiful Argentina. It is again a place my husband would love; the colors were amazing and again the pictures do not do it justice, (especially as most were taken from a speeding car).
