   We depart from the city of Salta heading towards Jujuy. Continuing our journey, we arrive in Purmamarca by mid-morning, where we have a brief stop for panoramic photos of the Seven Colored Hill. Continuing along a scenic mountain road, we traverse the "Cuesta del Lipan". Along the way, we make scheduled stops to capture photos and experience the sensation of being above the clouds, reaching our highest point at 4,170 meters above sea level.
