I have a number of people interested in a trip that combines Argentina and Chile, and since I still do not have confirmed clients for the trip to NW Argentina, I thought this could be an opportunity to swap the dates.
THE TRIP TO CHILE WOULD BE AS FOLLOWS

CHILE (CACTUS AND BROMELIADS) nov 2009

CROSSING THE ANDES: Argentina and Chile combined in one trip
A great trip combining the best of both countries, plus the unique experience of crossing the Andes in two occasions! Starting from Central Argentina and heading towards the highest pass of the Andes: The San
Francisco Pass, at 4350 meters (over 14.000 feet !). In Chile, we will see most of Copiapoa species, with spectacular populations like Copiapoa dealbata, Copiapoa columna-alba among others. Crossing back the Andes
we will be in the high Altiplano or Puna (a high altitude plateau in Northern Argentina). See from the small and recently discovered Yavia cryptocarpa to forest of Trichocereus pasacana.
