En las Yungas - Parque Calilegua - in the Yungas


Visitamos San Salvador de Jujuy, la capital de la provincia con el mismo nombre. Resultó ser un lugar tranquilo, una ciudad pequeña con buena disposición al turismo y con infraestructura para salir de problemas y un poco más. Así que disfrutamos los cafés, conseguimos alguna información importante y hicimos un reconocimiento de sus calles.

We visited San Salvador de Jujuy, capital of the province with the same name. A quiet place, a small city with good attitude to tourism, and enough infrastructure to solve problems and a little more. So we enjoyed the cafes, obtained some useful information, and explored the streets.



De allí nos dirigimos a las Yungas Argentinas, específicamente a la Reserva Natural Calilegua, Un lugar al norte de Jujuy que nos permitió disfrutar de la belleza de este ecosistema y de la flora y fauna que lo habita.
Aquí algunas fotos de lo encontrado al final de la tarde del lunes y la mañana del martes. Fue delicioso disfrutar la tranquilidad del lugar, la belleza de los senderos y el paso del viento. En invierno este entorno debe ser abrumadoramente bello.



From Jujuy we headed for the Argentine Yungas, specifically the Calilegua Nature Reserve, and area to the north of Jujuy which allowed us to enjoy the beauty of the ecosystem, and its flora and fauna.
Here are a few photos from Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. It was wonderful to enjoy the tranquillity of this area, to enjoy its paths, and listen to the breeze. In winter this environment must be bewitchingly beautiful.

  1. The first picture surprises me - it looks how I imagine Miami to look? The photo of the toucan is phenomenal. Why in particular do you feel that the place's beauty would be enhanced in the winter?

  2. In winter the rains come: and so everything would turn to green and lush. The downside is that the roads turn to mud so it is difficult or impossible to gain access.

    We were very pleased with the Toucan...!
