@Jason: Thanks the kudos. It was quite a trip and we wanted to do all of its surprises justice when relating our experience. Thanks for the offer to trade photos…perhaps we’d be getting the better end of the deal

Guys, what a great way to bring your photos to life! We had a wonderful time and this brought back great memories for me. Such a wonderful region with so many surprises. Your photos are so much better than ours, can we trade?

Thanks for sharing.

@Keith: I think a solo trip around Salta would be fun – you’d likely have many of the same personal encounters. The advantage of finding a travel companion would be to share costs, share driving and just have someone to talk to when on the road between places. But, once you’re in towns and villages you’ll likely have no problem talking with different people and practicing your Spanish skills. I’m really excited for your upcoming trip and glad you chose Salta.

I really enjoyed this. Great to hear your voices and your view of the experience. Much of the slideshow is in my near future, though what do you think of a solo trip around Salta? My gut tells me I should try to find a companion.

Thanks for sharing this!

@Kathy: Your comment really made our day as we do try to approach the people we meet and the countries we travel through with respect and relay these personal experiences back to our readers. I'm not sure if you saw our earlier posts on this trip. If not, you can read more about the tobacco pickers here and the Gaucho Festival here. Thanks again for your kind and motivating comment!

The audio slideshow was wonderful! It is good to hear your voices, along with seeing the photos. I think that it makes the story a bit richer and more personal. I especially liked the portions where you visited the village with the festival, and when you stopped to talk to the men harvesting tobacco. Being able to communicate with people (beyond the basic greetings) really does contribute to a richer experience when traveling because you can form deeper connections with people.

I also want to say that I appreciate the positive manner in which you present your experiences, especially the way you show respect for the people that you meet and the cultural differences that may exist. There are many travelers nowadays who seem to be stooping to negative humor in order to sell stories to magazines or get website sponsorship. You two are definitely role models in how to tell an entertaining, informative, and often-humorous story without being derogatory. Your postings are always so refreshing. Thank you, and keep up the excellent work!

@Gaea: Great to see you here. Next time we travel together I’d love to record some of our banter. Imagine what type of cool audio slideshow we could have produced for salar de uyuni in Bolivia! Really hope our paths cross again soon.

@Kyle: Glad to hear you like the audio slideshow format. I’m still trying to figure out if others enjoy it and if it’s a good medium for us. Northern Argentina will always be there for next time you’re in the region.

Nice to see the audio slideshow as an addition to your repertoire. I wish we would have gotten to see the Northern part of Argentina; it looks amazing!

@Margaret: So glad you enjoyed this and that it started to get the juices flowing for upcoming trips. It really is a beautiful area and we found the people everywhere to be friendly and welcoming. If you do head to this area, just let us know if you need further details!
