What it's Like to Road Trip in Northern Argentina | Early Retirement Slow Travel

Our early retirement slow travel adventures have brought us to northern Argentina. We're on a 7 day roadtrip to explore the provinces of Salta and JuJuy.

We hiked through the quebradas near Cafayate and Cachi, visited the multi-colours mountains around Purmamarca and Humahuaca, walked on the Salinas Grandes salt flats, saw 500 year old incan sites at Barrancas, drove, and got stuck on, on the famous Ruta 40, and surrounded ourselves in fields of cacti and amazing rock formations.

But driving a car in a new country takes some getting used to. Here's what it was like to take a road trip around Salta and JuJuy in northern Argentina.
