Königlicher Ausflug von Salta

gute Handys, guter Eduardo-Führer, den wir mit ihren Geschichten, Witzen und ihrer Weisheit begeistern Cachi sieht aus wie eine kleine Stadt in den Bergen mit ruhigen und lächelnden Menschen. Wir hatten die leckersten Empanadas, an die ich mich erinnere. Vielen Dank für die Reise durch eine super schöne Tour, um die trockene Natur zu sehen. Wir kehren in den Nordwesten zurück und besuchen alles, was wir noch haben.
