Salinas Grandes

Since I missed my chance to see the salt flats in Bolivia, I decided to see the smaller version in northern Argentina. I spent the day driving through beautiful mountains and valleys and got to run around in a desert of salt.

a little town we stopped in on the way

cold day, but the sun always helps

salt pools

colorful hills all the way home 

the highest place I've ever been!

one last town on the way back 

these markets just never get old...

After an entire day of driving, I planned my trip east to Iquazu and then passed out. I will miss the northeast.
