We are moving into the baking hot north west of Argentina where siesta goes from 1pm to 6pm.

The historical centre of San Miguel de Tucumán has many fine old buildings which are spectacularly lit up at night.

Leaving behind the vast fields of sugar cane, our bus began the climb to Tafí de Valle (2000 metres up), winding through jungle and into the clouds.  Lovely little Tafí lies in a fertile valley surrounded by high mountains.  It is famous for cheese made from old Jesuit recipes.  We stayed in the 200 year old adobe Estancia los Cuartos with  original furniture and friendly llamas.
