The Poem


A girl was dreaming. She was in heaven, and saw the most beautiful flower, with the best smell, she picked it up, and then she woke up. But that flower was in her hands, it was right there, with the same smell, and it still was the most beautiful. But something happened, it wasn't the same flower, there was something wrong with it. There was some sadness in it. The girl Knew that it was going to die...

Purmamarca, much more than seven colors



Probably Purmamarca has one of the most famous mountains in Argentina, named as "seven colors", its beauty has turned it into the representative postcard of the north of Argentina.



If you want to have the best view you might see it in the morning, because the sun reflects its light in it.



Purmamarca offer you its traditions, colors and sounds. The folklore is it language, with "coplas" and guitars, the typical food based in corn is delicious, and the peace that you can perceive is unique.


You can also visit "El paseo de los colorados", it is a great view that you can appreciate by foot, in about an hour. You can also do it by car, and it is in about 5 minutes.





Its a unique landscape and its near the town. I recommend you to do the trip before afternoon, because winds are really hard.





If you want to see beautiful landscape you MIGHT go to "Salinas Grandes", its about an hour by car, you may go for 53 national road.





When you are in Salinas Grandes you thinK you are in heaven, its an amazing landscape, and there is also a restaurant made of salt, it is really interesting to visit.
