We are in Argentina last week. During my last message we got to Salta, in northwestern Canada. As we went down considerably in altitude, we thought finally we would have the right temperature a little warmer ... only to wake up the first morning after our arrival in Salta to see quil was snowing! A first in more than 10 years, is apparently in the corner, we are lucky eh? Good to hand temperature, Salta is a city very charming. We spend the first day was to tour the city and its museums.
One thing we dessayer in Argentina, the famous cétait couchsurfing. For those who do not know, cousurfing.org is a site where people sinscrivent or Dormitory accommodation they offer travelers home. So we contact Lucas, a city boy. The first night he didn't but he could accommodate us anyway sest offered to lead us in a typical Argentinean restaurant for dinner. In addition to being able to finally try the famous Argentine steak and wine (both very delicious), we have them right folkrorique argentaines some songs, but what was special, that cétait cétait some restaurant patrons who brought their guitar playing and singing during dinner. Really nice as experience. The next day we return home in Lucas to sleep at night waiting for him. Basically, really fun as the first couchsurfing experience.
We then left for Cafayate, in about 4 hours south of Salta. Cafayate is the second largest producer of wine of Argentina, so we went in to visit some vineyards lintention mainly. Before doing so by cons, we took a tour of the surrounding canyons. Is that what strikes the payasage Northwestern of Argentina, is its colorful mountains that are caused by loxydation several different metals. So we end up with mountains of red yellow, purple, green, etc.. The tour took us several interesting geological sites ranging from dune formation which resembles a castle with a different shape or damphiteatre lacoustique is really surprising.
The next day, so we rented bicycles to tour some vineyards. Some are very large and very expensive, so we concentrate on smaller or else the wine was mostly really good. DONT say we never drank as much wine in our lives since we've been here almost a whole day I'd say ... After
Cafayate, we went to the first wine region of Argentina, for a change, or Mendoza. We arrived yesterday morning. The city is pretty, she has been in letre especially because all the streets are lined Darbre enormous and there are great parks and plazas everywhere. As a cons this time, its a little too cold and there are more leaves in the trees. We're still here couchsurfing with a guy who sappel Gabriel who lives with 3 other roommates ... its not bad and the guy is nice but it suoer done a lot of people in an apartment. We will visit the vineyards of the region by bike tomorrow, hope it will not be too cold (I told you lai quil freeeeetttttteeee done!! Is getting a little tired of ca dailleurs.)
See you in within 3 weeks! See you soon!
