Quebrada de Humahuaca, Northern Argentina - April 2011

We made a stop in the very unmemorable town of Jujuy, to go and see the multicoloured mountains in the nearby countryside. The colour, so the info board told us, comes from ancient sea deposits of different minerals and sediments. The photos don't quite capture the colour, but they were stunning.


We visited some ruins, that were originally Inca. The Inca empire spread all the way into Argentina, we were amazed. However, this photo does not show the ruins!


The global line of Capricorn. Not as eventful as the Equator, but still worthy of a jumping shot.
