Devil’s Throat is one of the many rock formations that line the road between Salta and Cafayate in Northern Argentina. Garganta Del Diablo is a welcoming stop over on the long drive. We enjoyed the guitar and flute playing of a man making a few dollars while entertaining in the auditorium acoustics of the Devi’s Throat.

The most amazing train in the world, the one that takes you to the clouds, reaches a height of 4,200 meters in its 217 km trip. It is one of the highest railways in the world, taking its way across the high picks of the Cordillera de los Andes, surrounded by striking sceneries. The train departs from the city of Salta, passes through the Valle de Lerma, enters the Quebrada del Toro and finally reaches La Puna.
It takes its name Tren a las Nubes, from the clouds that are often seen under bridges and around slopes. – Tren a las Nubes
We did not ride the train but we did go on a wild chase to catch a glimpse of it.

Foxgloves are also called Witches’ Gloves, Dead Men’s Bells, Fairy’s Glove, Gloves of Our Lady, Bloody Fingers, Virgin’s Glove, Fairy Caps, Folk’s Glove, and Fairy Thimbles. These are biennial plants and are tall, slender perennials at 2-5′ in height and just 1-2′ wide. It is a very statuesque plant. It has numerous tubular flowers blooming on a spike, ranging in color from purple to white. Foxglove flowers appear in the summer months. The flowers are bell-shaped and tubular, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches long, flattened above, inflated beneath, crimson outside above and paler beneath, the lower lip furnished with long hairs inside and marked with numerous dark crimson spots, each surrounded with a white border. ~ Iflorist.co.uk
