Submitted by maria on Fri, 04/03/2011 - 19:43

Today we don't have to get up early, we have a quiet breakfast and at 12 o'clock we are at the International Airport of Bariloche Tte. Luis de Candelaria. Our flight stops in Buenos Aires with destination Salta.

We have problems again but this time with the airline LAN. In Buenos Aires we are 4 hours late and we have two hours left!

The Train to the Clouds that runs through the Andes has been cancelled due to the rain and danger of landslides and we found out today. They offer us to do it in a prepared truck but we are not convinced. We claim the money back and it costs them a little bit.

Finally we arrive in Salta, it is late and we are very tired. In our hotel Antigüo Convento they are very kind and get us for tomorrow an excursion to the Quebrada de Cafayate (the one in Humahuaca is also complete, we are in Carnival and you can see the volume of tourism).

We have a roast dinner in a restaurant near the hotel, it is different from the ones we have tried before, it includes entrails and what is known as cow's offal. Everything is very tasty.
