Today we went south and west into the Argentine Andes Mountains. Before we left the hotel in Salto we put all of our luggage into garbage bags to protect them from the dust.

The scenery continued to change as we climbed higher into the mountains.


We also saw a lot of llama-like animals but I’m not sure if they were llama, alpaca, vicuña or guanacos.



We continued to climb and eventually went over a pass at more than 11,000 feet.

When we finally got to Cachi we had a late lunch followed by ice cream.



We are staying at a winery about eight miles outside of Cachi.

We had a picnic dinner and tasted two local wines to decide which we liked best.


After dinner we had fun playing Rummikub.

Ice cream, yes! Looks like Arizona. Do you worry about the water being safe to drink?

Just to be on the safe side we have been drinking bottled water.
