My country

What kind of colours can you see?
Where is this landscape from?
Could you use a word to define this picture?


This ladscape is from Tucuman, Argentina. It is a valley called Tafi del Valle
 The name derives from the word kakán "Taktikllakta" (language spoken by the people diaguita calchaquí who inhabited the region since the year 1000), which translates as "site or place of splendid entrance. "
Surrounded by mountains up to 4500 meters high, is located about 107 km fromSan Miguel de Tucuman and 1,976 meters above sea level.



This place is beautiful, but people from the nearby say that behind the mountains is hidden "La Salamanca". The story says that it is the place where witches and the devil live. And that sometimes you may listen to music from nowhere, and it means that they are calling you. So people have to hold a rosary in order not to follow the music.  Some other people say that you can go there and sell your soul to the devil and in exchange they can get fantastic skills.

  3. The most known urban legens are not from here. So, I wanted to mention stories from our country and from real people; because they may sound true!!!!
