We rented a car for a couple of days and decided to do a 500km circuit around the mountains and countryside near Salta. The scenery here was really fantastic and seemed to change dramatically every 25km or so (from winding mountain roads, to 
lofty vistas, to massive cactus fields, to flat dusty plateaus, to rugged rocky formations). The towns along this circuit were very isolated and very quiet! We stayed in one town that had a population of about 1000 people. We could only find one restaurant in the place and when we went there it was completely empty for the duration of our meal (and this was 9pm on a Saturday night!) We did eventually reach Cafayate (one of the wine regions of Argentina) which thankfully had a bit more life. Kadi was particularly pleased to try some wine flavoured ice-cream...white and red :) Anyway, they say a picture paints a thousand words so here are a few thousand for you:
