I'm going in October. How did you find an apt in BA?
I was in Salta a couple of years ago and really liked the town and the area. I rented a car and drove down to Cafayate in the wine country south of Salta. Beautiful drive and Cafayate is a nice town. Enjoy.
I'm considering going back and this time driving north through Jujuy, Hamahuaca and Iruya.
