From Iruya to Purmamarca

Today we woke up for a complete breakfast in our luxury hotel. We were resting a little after eating then suddenly we saw a very little little bird which was oving very very fast. We took a closer look and... guess what?? It was a colibri!!! There were any of tem eatng from the flowers. We are very lucky since we have seen the bigest (the condor) ad the smallest (colibri) birs in sout america!!!

It took us 2 hours of non paved road and 15 river bed crosses to reach the civilization but in the way we stoped at 4000 meter high for a short walk. It was very windy but still we climbed a liitle bit more. In the way up we saw a herd of vicuñas (a kind of small llama) that passed very closed to us. We also saw some more condors... maybe the same of yesterday. We are lucky tat the americand taught us how to recognize a condor. Otherwise we would have miss them all!!

We took te road to Tilcara and in the way we pass through the Tropico of Capricornio. In Tilcara we visited the ruins of an ancient indian village and Mihai founded a small ceramic piece in an tomb. Another treasure for my collection!!!

Tonigh Mihai and me will sleep in Purmamarca. The plan for tomorrow is still to be decided.

No podemos subir cada dia las fotos porque a veces los ordenadores no reconocen la camara.

En cuanto podamos subiremos todas las que faltan.
