Purmamarca
Day 1087
09.02.2014,
Purmamarca, Argentina.
Cerro de Siete Colores, or " seven- colored mountain " is the most famous attraction of Purmamarca. Especially in the morning sun.
The overnight place in the morning light. In fact, the construction works were in progress here, hence the restroom on the other side of the road.
Purmamarca
The beautiful white Iglesia de Santa Rose is located by the central plaza, and is one of the oldest buildings in Purmamarca, from the year of 1648.
Algarrobo. More than 1000 years old tree in the churchyard.
Central Square is a big market place, filled with local handicrafts.
And further on - multi- colored mountains.
Wiphala – the flag of the native peoples of the Andes. Or, more specifically, an emblem, which is predominantly in the form of a flag.
Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiphala
The seven colors of the actual Wiphala originate from the visible spectrum. The significance and meanings for each color are as follows:
Red: The Earth and the Andean man
Orange: Society and culture
Yellow: Energy
White: Time
Green: Natural resources
Blue: The heavens
Violet: Andean government and self-determination

And another interesting vehicle. On the roof there is a whole camping equipment set.
This highest point of this road is 4170 meters.
There are some stickers and I would add the blue- black-and- white one too.
The Andes. And Salinas Grandes is seen from afar- but more of it in the next post.
Some less traveled roads.
