Salta la Linda

Felipe y Montañas

I spent a lot of time on buses last week.

I went from Buenos Aires to Santiago de Chile then Santiago de Chile to Salta in the north of Argentina, where Brendan and I did a 14 hour tour, again in a bus, of the surrounding areas, a little under 60 hours in all.

Salta is a great little city and has a really relaxed feel to it. It would have been nice to spend a couple more days there but Brendan was on a pretty tight schedule, so after much changing of plans we decided to fly back to Buenos Aires and take a bus up to the waterfalls at Iguazu. We could have made a 28 hour bus trip from Salta to Iguazu, but the thought of spending almost 90 hours on a bus in one week made me cry, so we decided to swallow the airfare.

It would have been great to get up to Bolivia and Salar de Uyuni, but I think it’s better to spend more time in fewer places then rush through lots of places and not enjoy them. It’s just another thing to pop on the list to do next trip.
