So the other day, we decided to drive up the 5 hours to the Bolivian border to the town of La Quiaca, Argentina. Here are some pictures from our trip.
About an hour from San Salvador de Jujuy (the capital of the province of Jujuy), we found a little bridge that goes across the river to a farm/orchard. The kids LOVED the bridge even though the wind was blowing pretty hard down through the canyon. They also really enjoyed getting down on the bank of the river and throwing rocks into the river.
The little town of La Quiaca was very cute. We also saw the Bolivian border and had quite a nice chat with a few of the border guards about whether we could actually cross without having to pay anything... needless to say, we did not cross. We did take some pictures though. :-) But the guards there had never heard of the Assemblies of God church (remember this is all in Spanish...).
We crossed the line for the Tropic of Capricorn.
We also reached (on the plains) the heighest point of 3780 meters (which is 12,401.5 feet) above sea level and the Andes mountains were still in the background! The trip back down took 4 hours (instead of 5) since it was all downhill!
