ANDES - SECOND DAY

On the second day we set off with the same driver but new guide Christian to the Andes again. From the Salta we went along the river Los Laureles towards the national park Los Cardanos. The way was pretty high-pitched and lead us to saddle 3 348 meters above the sea level. The national park behind the saddle was full of cactuses. Through the park leads  the Recta Tin Tin road with no turning in its 19 kilometers length. The last aim of our trip was the town Cachi with archeological museum devoted to the Indian culture. From Cachi we moved into Cafayate, where we had been accommodated.
