I never thought that I´d be so surrounded by livestock. From our first days here, we have had encounters with livestock. It probably began with the relatively mundane chickens. Then, the cow in the potential campsite. Then it was cows on the road. Then it was cows in the actual campsite. Then the horses in camp. It got a bit more exotic when there were sheep taking nibbles at the drying laundry. And goats in the trees at the side of the road, well, that´s a new one.

Those barnyard animals are nothing compared to the llamas and alpacas that we find crossing the road. And let me tell you-llamas and baby llamas are adorable. Really, really really adorable.

But the beastie that totally takes the biscuit-the gentle burro that showed up in our campsite in Humahuaca, and snicked at us, and let us scrach behind his big brown ears.

This is a pretty neat place.
