After our one night stay in Sanitago del Estero, we drove north to the provice of Jujuy and the capital city of that province: San Salvador de Jujuy. We had a few hours on Tuesday morning to take about a 40 minute drive north into the beautiful red and green mountains of this northern region of Jujuy. This province borders Chile and Bolivia. We were about 200 miles from the Bolivian border.
Our wedding anniversary happened to fall on this trip.... but on the day, Septemer 8, we didn't have time to celebrate.... so we took part of Tuesday and did that! (We celebrate 43 wonderful years)
I had done some reading about Jujuy Province before we left and confirmed some of my findings with our dear friend, Axel. One of the most fascinating sights to see was Purmamarca a lovely little Argentine village nestled in the mountains at the foot of the very famous "Hill of Seven Colors". We enjoyed a few hours here wandering around and eating the regional empanadas which are the best in the country and are far better than what we can find in Buenos Aires! Jujuy is famous for their empanadas as is the nearby province of Tucuman.
Enjoy these few photos of the South American charm we drank in!
