Hola todos! This one covers off the final leg on the 4 day push to Salta from Sucré.

After the long day getting into Argentina I decided to have a little lie in before getting on the road to Salta again. Before I checked in I bought a ticket for the 11.30 bus to Salta from Humahuaca and kick out at the hostel was half 10 so had some time to rest up.

I soon get out and mozy on down to the bus station. The bus shows up a little late but we are soon on way. It is another 4 or 5 hours to reach Salta. For the most part this bus ride was quite uneventful apart from the slowness of it.

Luckily no breakdowns this time but it did stop at every little town in between Humahuaca and Salta during each stop people would come on board trying to sell you different things and just generally get in the way of people trying to get on and off. It was just a slow going thing, not the hardest part of these last few days but definitely had been the most tedious with just how slow it made things.

Eventually though we get to Salta probably an hour or so late but finally we are here and can relax. It’s a short 20 minute walk to the gaff and I’m soon checked in then go for a walk round. Salta is a very relaxed little city and feels like you could be in Spain or somewhere else in Europe here. All in all was a very nice little place to chill for the weekend and gets me to thinking Argentina is going to be a good time if the rest of it has this vibe.

I spend the evening hopping round a few bars near the gaff and generally winding down from the long Journey it had been. So far Argentina has given a very good first impression.
