Route 9 -- Humahuaca

These Humuahuaca caballeros will be happy to tell you about the history of this city and the legend of its santo.

Below Purmamarca we joined Ruta 9 for the last haul up to Bolivia, our final kilometres of paved road on this trip. We stopped for lunch in Tilcara and to see the ruins of El Pucará. An afternoon hou feng (tailwind) blew us into Humahuaca.

The shirt of the young man on the left suggests he is a VfB Stuttgart supporter. If you are still in contact, better not mention that they lost 2-1 against Hansa Rostock this weekend.
