Argentina: Humauaca & La familia LAMAS (Day 311-315)

With Carolina, 6 years old, a cuttie!
The famous Quebrada de Humauaca... We did not see much of it finally as we ended up staying with the family LAMAS in a little village north of Humauaca (Hornaditas). We felt at home as soon as we arrived...A home we have not known before though as I was not even born when it was the time to cook with logs, plowing with the help of a 'burro', going to look after the goats every morning and afternoon (to feed them...), showering with a bucket on clay... We cooked quite a bit during the 3 days... Great after having been so long without - and great to eat something else than 'arroz y papas fritas'!)... Gnocchis, Quinoa tart, asasdo de Llama`s meat... and of course we made some crepes for the family! A superb family worth to be known for its friendliness and willingness to share with the 'visitantes', not to say 'turistas' (they don't like it). We would have stayed much longer if it was not the end of our journey, well almost, and still a lot to see! Indeed, the end of the world is waiting for us (Ushuaia)!! We thus decided to skip Pumamarka, another village in the Quebrada worth a visit apparently... But culture is our priority... We have seen so much already! Sharing and learning is what we love.

Plowing with a mule ('burro')... Not easy! Stubborn as a mule, that's more than true!
