Category Archives: Cachi

This was the view from our room at the Samay Huasi hostel near Cachi in Northwestern Argentina. As it was the middle of summer, and the Merino sheep hadn’t made it into this particular field yet, the area was covered in these beautiful yellow flowers. When I asked the owners, who had lived there all their lives, what kind of plants they were they just shrugged and said ‘they are yellow flowers’.

We both loved it here. I have never been to a more peaceful place. We were at an altitude of 3200m and the lack of air gave us a good excuse to do nothing.
