This week we arrived in Salta province, to the Los Cardones national park 3400 m up in the high Andes.
It is springtime but at this height it’s frosty at night with high 20s at midday.
The birds have just started to arrive in these inspiring mountains, having spent winter much lower down. In the autumn we watched Andean Geese and Andean Flickers around Tafi del Valle at 2000 m. These past few days we have seen them arrive into the magnificent Andean high grassland ecoregion called the Puna.
