About Us

From the time we left our North American pasts to create new lives in Northwest Argentina, we have spent almost two decades living in Salta, province of Argentina. Over the years, we have discovered how to combine our own deeply-rooted customs from home with the powerful identity of the local culture. This intense cultural crossover inspired us to reinterpret Northwest Argentina in our own particular way, and this book serves as a tribute to the land, to the people on it who have most genuinely lived with nature, and on which we and our families live.
