We rented a car in Salta, and planned to see the Seven Colors Mountain and Fourteen Colors Mountain. We drove north in the morning to Jujuy and drove until Tilcara. We slept in a family hostel. It’s very common in the restaurants to have live music and meat but we go for vegetarian food and enjoyed the music. We did one day to the fourteen colors mountain and back to Tilcara. The next day we went south to seven colors mountain then to the salt desert. It’s a very beautiful place- from another world. The mountains in this region are full of colors, cacti, and peace.

A really an amazing experience to see the colors of these mountains.

Lago puelo- yoga, hippies and water. It's the hippies' village in Argentina. It’s a lovely place, full of water, love, yoga and music.

We took a bus from Bariloche- around 3 hours. We came to a yoga farm called- Rey Sol Reina Luna a magical place run by a woman from Italy and Israel- a lot of animals- 2 minutes walking to the river and 30 minutes to a large lake.  Every morning we took a yoga class. We had the time of our life. We had planned only three nights and we ended up staying there for one whole month. I highly recommend going trekking in the mountains nearby- very close to El Bolson. It’s called Cajon de Azul which is green-blue water, full of nature,  peace, and cold water to swim in. Just go!

Q & A

  • Anything go wrong during the trip?

    We got stopped by a police officer in Jujuy because we didn't have the headlights on so make sure even during the day that you keep the headlights on.
  • Restaurant recommendations?

    We cooked all our meals and I really think that this is the cheapest and most healthy way of living.
  • Tips you would give a friend?

    Go to Lago Puelo National Park without a time limit!
  • Packing tips?

    Pack light and something for the rain.
  • Transportation Tips?

    Buses are very cheap but taxis could be also cheap if you call them before and make sure the prices are good
