Dulce de leche.
For $3.5 Argentinean pesos you can get this tasty cream made out of caramelized milk. It goes well on bread or crackers.
Coca tea.
As we approached the border from Argentina to Bolivia, altitude started to have an effect on us again. We arrived to Yavi (Argentina) and tried to walk a lot so we can handle this journey.
We heard that coca products help, in the form of tea or the actual leaves. Brian tried the coca tea and it did not seem to have any apparent effect on him. He still fell tired and short of breath. The cost? $0.50 Argentinean pesos per tea bag.
The name coca causes some ugly thoughts but for people in this entire area of North of Argentina, Bolivia and Peru, coca is like a snack… part of the culture. You can read more about this topic in Brian’s blog: www.andthenweweregone.blogspot.com
