I tried to talk to them. We more or less walked with them through the ruins and talked about their family and then paid them for giving us the tour! Our 5 weeks of classes have not included having a conversation in Spanish about pre-hispanic times.
Our 10 & 11 year old tour guides for the Ruins. They were too cute to say no to!
The town of Tilcara from the hillside of the pre-hispanic ruins.
A church in a little town of Calete between Tilcara and Humahuaca. We saw it from the road and drove through to take a look. The beauty of not being on a bus!

The mountain of 7 colors and the town of Purmamarca
May 26, 2009
Purmamarca is the town we spent the first night of this trip at. It is most visited for its spectacular mountain of 7 colors, from terra cotta to green. It is quite a trendy little town with fancy restaurants and shopping, even among all the dirt roads. The best view of the mountain is in the morning, so we did a short little hike to see the amazing view and headed north to Tilcara. From Tilcara we drove a short distance to the town of Humahuaca, crossing the Tropic of Capricorn. We returned to Tilcara for that evening.
Gorgeous scenery!
