Two books are dedicated to these provinces in north west Argentina which border on Chile and Bolivia. For those who travel through the pages of both books the imposing Andes mountain scenery are superimposed on the particular character of the population, heirs of the Incas. Here the mountain gives way to the Puna, an inter montane plateau at 10,000 feet and more to reach which a formidable valley is traversed - Quebrada de Humahuaca. Here the land takes on colorful hues, to reflect which the people keep to the traditions and languages of their ancestors, their feasts, their musical instruments. The photographs show images of all this and spread before the reader the variety on offer to tour this favorite tourist destination from the Puna to the Calchaqui valleys. Text dwells on the area's history, folk crafts and traditions, the small colonial churches and the ancient Indian fortresses - Pucaras, everything the visitor will want to remember once he is home again.
