Purmamarca
Up in the mountains at 2347 meters above sea level, in the province of Jujuy in Argentina - close to the border of Chile, there is a gorgeous little town called Purmamarca. There are approximatley 2000 inhabitants in this sweet little town. The town is surrounded by mountains in colors - red, green, purple, orange, beige. It was a stunning place. I could not stop staring at the surroundings. At night, the stars shone brighter than I've ever seen them shine before. Just spectacular.

what i was most excited about during the whole trip, was that we saw a wild pack of alpacas up in the mountains at approx. 4100 meters above sea level - my heart exploded a little bit
