purmamarca, argentina

this was one of the places that reeeeaally made me wish i was with a geologist that would tell me how the heck did nature do its job. the cerro de los siete colores, spanish for the hill of the seven colors, is in purmamarca and is part of the quebrada de humahuaca.

purmamarca is another small town, we got there in the morning from tilcara to meet our friends that had left the night before. you can walk the whole center in no time as you feel like you have travelled in time through the small streets that, mostly, have one story buildings. form every street you can see the hills, no need to go hiking for hours  ;) beauty delivered directly into town for our convenience!

we did hike up to a small hill to get a better view of the hills, and also, because there was not much to do! ...so, after coming back down the slippery trail, we hit the main plaza to see the artisans market, get some coffee and beer. hot, chill, nice day.

after relaxing for a while around town, we decided to go to the salt flats, salinas grandes (which means big salt flats), creative. after one hour in the car, we got one hour in the flats, so... we just walked and took silly pictures. enough salt flats for my lifetime

silly friends plus lots of time make silly pictures.
