Garganta del Diablo (Throat of the Devil) : the place gets its name from a spot where two canyons funnel into a narrow gorge and form a waterfall. Above the waterfall it gets pretty desolate, so it was a perfect area to backpack around and campout for a few days.
By the time you're in Tilcara you're pretty much knocking on the front door of Bolivia. Saying the people are dark skinned is an understatement. I thought I stood out in Buenos Aires, but in Tilcara I was like a snowflake in a coal mine. What also stood out to me was the huge disparity in wealth. The luxury, double decker buses let out only a block away from where a man was building a house with homemade bricks and a bamboo ladder tied together with rope.
