The Altitude Fix

#cityplaybook Start early in San Antonio de los Cobres, where the silence is louder than the wind. Visit the Viaducto La Polvorilla and catch a glimpse of the Tren a las Nubes tracks. Then drive toward Salinas Grandes—yes, they’re that beautiful every time—before looping back along Cuesta de Lipán. Stop to breathe (literally, you’re 4,000m up!) and snack on llama jerky from a roadside vendor. Descend into Purmamarca for a late meal under the stars. One day, multiple ecosystems.
