Going down 500m to Tilcara!

I admit it, I wasn't acclimatized enough to handle Humahuaca.
I didn't sleep well. I puked. I had the shakes. I felt like my brain was swelling into the walls of my skull, my chest about to explode and there was just not enough oxygen. 

I downloaded an App and it showed that I was at 2965m 


Yup, almost 3000-

I decided to come down to Tilcara. 

2494m feels a lil better. 

When the bus stopped here on the way to Humahuaca, I liked it. 18pesos later, and an AWESOME drive through the Quebrada de Humahuaca, 




which I will make a video of), and I arrive here in Tilcara again. I chose a cheap hostel off of booking.com, which I don't generally enjoy using, but it's been the most practical. At $8/night in a 4 person room, it ain't bad. It's just up a hill though.

Anyway, I walked around Tilcara and I really like it. You can see the Andes all around.
I fall in love with this place more and more. I genuinely wish I could be biking or driving through, it is amazing scenery!
