May 2 Cafayate

Since I don´t have much time left to explore the area; I decided to take a tour.  The tour itself was mediocre at best, but we did get to see some amazing scenery.

Our first stop other than the coffee break in a gas stationm was in the Quebrada de Las Canchas.  Here we got to scramble up the Garganta de Diablo.  We ended up spending quite a bit of time here because many of the people in the tour had great difficulty getting down.

The second stop was similr in a place alled the ampitheater oing to its acoustics.  The symphony plays in here once a year.  We were treated to some pan flute music, as always, playing El Condor Pasa.

Nice scenery and interesting geology

  Our guide did not know anything about the geology which was disappointing.

Local ice cream flavors of malbec (red wine), torrientes (white wine), and coca leaves

Side note: had trouble with the computer in the internet cafe today.  Frustrating!
