Hanging Out At Devil's Throat. Copyright CareerBreakSecrets.com

We got up and left Campo Quijano around 10AM for a long day ahead us. Tonight we were all leaving for various destinations, but before we would do that, we would head south of Salta, to the town of Cafayete.  It was an aggressive plan given our penchant for driving slowly along the road to [...]

career break travel adventures in Salta and jujuy Argentina

Thursday morning I got up before anyone feeling refreshed and absent any signs of altitude sickness.  After a lazy breakfast (which of course included mate), we packed up the car and headed out.  Our path today would take us back past the saltflats to start circling back towards Salta. Once we passed the saltflats, we [...]

career break travel adventures in Argentina, Purmamarca, Salta, Jujuy

We woke up early on Wednesday so we could make the trek to our next stop, Purmamarca.  We were a little low on provisions so Kim and I roamed the streets to find anything open.  We weren’t that successful and could only manage to get a little water and crackers. One of the best parts [...]

career break travel adventures in Argentina, Iruya

We got up a little later than we wanted.  But, after the night we had dancing (with maybe a little bit of wine), we certainly needed the sleep.  We finally made our way into town to check out the local market.  Finally, around late morning, we left Tilcara and headed north, to the remote town [...]

career break travel adventures in Argentina, Tilcara, Jujuy

Thanks to Andres, Noemi and Pepe, we found a car to use for our roadtrip around the provinces of Salta and Jujuy.  At 8AM, our Volkswagen-wagon showed up.  With five of us and all our gear, it was a tight fit, but we somehow figured it out.  We made a quick stop at the grocery [...]

career break travel adventures in Argentina, Salta

After arriving in Salta city in the Salta province, we quickly sorted out our tickets to get us back to BA at the end of the week. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get cama (bed) seats.  But, no matter. We found a hostel at the bus terminal and checked in to a shared room with the 5 [...]

career break travel adventures in Argentina, Talampaya

With Kim not feeling well, we got a slower start on Thursday than planned but still had no problem getting our bus to San Juan.  Our next stop was the Valle de La Luna (Valley of the Moon) and Talampaya National Parks located just north outside the town of San Agustin.  Entering the parks required [...]

career break travel adventures in Mendoza Argentina

I boarded my bus in Bariloche on Sunday afternoon bound for Mendoza.  It was a redeye that would take 17 hours arriving around 9:30AM on Monday.  Luckily in South America, the long-haul buses tend to be fairly nice.  The basic seats (semi-cama) recline halfway and if you are willing to pay a bit more, you [...]

career break travel adventures in Bariloche Argentina

After four great weeks in the mountains, it is finally time to go.  Things got off to a rocky start here with my skis.  But, with a little time, it all came right.  I just love the mountains.  I don’t know what it is about them.  But, I find them very soothing, tranquil.  So, even [...]

On Tuesday morning while hanging out at the B&B, my skis finally showed up.  It was like an Christmas for me.  I quickly unpacked everything to make sure it was all there and that nothing was broken.  Everything checked out so I decided to head out to explore Bariloche a bit. About 4 kms from [...]
