NW of Argentina
 

This is my first post and hope not the last one. The main reason why I loined this forum is to provide some of the info people need when they think about ht nw as a possible destination.
I must confess the nw is not as famous as Patagonia , but maybe it is because people usually look those places which are already known, but if you want something really unique which in addition has a beautiful spanish colonial style architecture, indian culture, great food, excellent wines, and warm people, just add Salta and the nw of Argentina in your next list. As a part of Argentina, nw, this wonderful corner of the country has all the necessary to make you feel you made the best choice.
I hope to be helpful.

My partner and I just did a fairly big circuit of Salta, Jujuy and a bit of Tucuman. Big trip report to follow.

Great report !!!

Indeed...one of the best I've read.

A valuable resource for anyone who plans heading up that way.

I wanted to publicly thank Giena for her invaluable advice & help in planning my 10 day Salta trip.... it was my first trip up there with the family and I had an amazing time.... Giena was right on will all her advice and the arrangements she made for me were perfect.

Kudos to Giena for your great work and thanks to you and all your team.... I cant say enough good things for all you have done for me and the family.... :D ^

Thanks, Gaucho 100K, I hope you post a detailed review soon...
Did you see the snow during your stay??
I like your quotation!!!! I like the meaning of "the right side of the Andes!!!!!!"
Thank you. Gaucho!

I have tons of photos but I still need to download them to my computer and do the usual sorting and editing, etc. I hope to have some time to write a report over the next couple of days... :D

Gaucho-- glad you enjoyed your Salta trip. As I might have mentioned, we met Giena during out trip and we had read her online posts before our trip-- lots of great information.

Did you make it to Colome?

LAst Sunday's NYT had a travel article on Jujuy,

Didnt go to Colome this time around.... but I have been there on various occasions. This was a family trip so I didnt feel like dragging the wife & kids to something work related.... ;)
