First Stop

salta is a beautiful town with lots of old Colonial buildings,as its based at the foot of the mountains and 1200m above sea level there is a lot to do.We spend a day kite buggying which i found really difficult and mal loved.It was a great day, on the way there the instructor drove us up the mountain so we got the most stunning views. We were up so high that nothing grew only Catui.At one point we were above the clouds it wasnt sunny but Mals face got really burnt.
We spent another day white water rafting and Canopying which was crazy. The rafting was great fun and had lots of rapids,at one point we lost mal and he got the biggest bruise on his thigh trying to get back in the boat!!.After a really good Barbaque which was included in the day we went canopying (which i hadnt thought to look into before signing up for it). Basically you climb up a mountain then they put you in a harness (like a nappy how attractive!)and give you a pair of gardening gloves and you have to make your way across this cable from canyon to canyon with lakes and stuff underneath. I can safely say that i have never been so scared in all my life (and remember guys i Absailed off Twickenham stadium for Cancer research!!). The biggest was 140 mts high and 500 mts Long (also the biggest in South America)not a good time to find out you have a fear of heights!. There were nine cables (or runs) in total funny that .....whats that they say about having nine lives!!!
