At Salta, driving from Purmamarca to Humahuaca is challenging for me because the technicolor landscape of the Río Grande Valley is truly remarkable. The colors range from rose and emerald to violet, with hues of yellow, brown, and more. My wild imagination suggests that Mother Nature has accidentally splashed vibrant paint onto the hills, or perhaps a rainbow is imprinted or trapped within them.

The Andean people are fortunate to live surrounded by such vivid colors every day. Color brings happiness, and in this place, sadness cannot thrive, only joy. Only joy.
