Backpacking in Salta and Jujuy Argentina

Backpacking in Salta and Jujuy Argentina was Kena’s idea.  She was a young, beautiful, adventurous Colombian that I had met when I first moved to Business Aires in April 2004.  It was now August and she and I became roommates; sharing a turn of the century three bedroom apartment in the old neighborhood of Monserrat.  When she said “let’s go for a travel,” we decided on the northwest of the country — Salta, Jujuy and Cafayate.  I said I would check the airfares. “Noooo, we go by omnibus!” she snapped.
