The Mendoza area is truly the wine country of Argentina but Cafayate has its fair share.
The bus (actually a 20 seat van) ride was great. Soon after we left Salta, I thought I was transported to the southwest USA. The landscape reminded me of Arizona and New Mexico. I am sure the pros out there will look at the pics and tell me ¨Sorry, but those rocks, cacti and colors have nothing in common with the American southwest.¨ To my untrained eye, they´re a match.
You be the judge.

I, for one, can tell you that Arizona no longer uses the nickel-cladium guards at 54 cm above the ground, so no, it doesn't look like Arizona
Brendan, your pictures immediately brought us in mind of the SW, around Zuni in New Mexico in particular. Of course, the combination of my eyes and the level of picture detail mean I can't tell what kind of plants you have there, but I'm sure they're adapted for the same lifestyle as the arid SW. The red dirt roads, the pungent scents you can only get in dry climes, I'm sure they would have seemed familiar.
