A Chile chill with a Uruguay and Argentina topping

Continuing past Purmamarca westwards and a great drive up and over (4000m) the E Andean mountains to Salinas Grandes up on the altiplano on a road to the Chilean border. The salt lake is not very impressive compared with the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. I made it my turn-around point and headed back to Tilcara for my last night before going back to Salta for my final night in Argentina.

Out of the B777 and after a 2h layover in DOH into the A380 for the ride to PER.

J lounge was very quiet, even after we got back into daylight. View out the lounge window.
