The north of Argentina is a place of natural treasures. Extraordinary salt flats sweep out across dry lakes that mirror the skies above. Explosive volcanoes and trails that take you to summits where looking down reveals wide open lakes of clouds that drift below. And you may catch glimpses of the pumas prowling along with jaguars, deer wondering the slopes as well as bears, while eagles and condors swoop the skies.
