Semana Salta Part 1

Last weekend for Semana Santa (Easter) I went to Salta. The province of Salta is located in the north of Argentina; a 22 hours bus ride! It basically takes a day to get there but it is so worth it. We left on Wednesday afternoon at 5. The omnibus was suppose to leave at 4 but, as usual, the bus was delayed in arriving to the station. I, traveling with 5 of my friends from IFSA boarded the bus with trepidation and excitement. How glad we were to arrive at our hostel, 7 Duendes, after that 20 odd hour bus ride. The rest of the day was spent figuring out what to do/walking around.

The next day, we went to San Lorenzo, which was 15 mins away, where there was hiking and zip-lining in the mountains. It was an amazing day to hike. The views were gorgeous and the hike was perfect, although I was a little out of breath during one or two parts. I blame the thin mountain air. ;)







The view at the top was totally worth it. We could see the whole of Salta from the top.
