Cactuses in Arizona, USA

Postcard ID: US-3033340
Country: USA

Here is a wonderful postcard from USA. A backside says:

A tall cactus with upward-curving arms, white funnel shaped flowers, and edible red fruit, the Saguaro is found in many areas of Arizona. Anywhere from 15 to 50 feet tall, some Saguaros are estimated to be 200 years old.

Also the sender wrote me the following:

She is a Registered Nurse in the Emergency Room. People would fall into cactus and it would take hours to get hundreds of those needles off them!

Also this postcard has amazing stamps and stickers:

Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy, Argentina

Postcard ID: AR-17917
Country: Argentina

Today I would like to write about one from the most interesting envelopes I ever received. This is my first card from Argentina. So it's 48th country in my statistics list.

I love cactuses and have some in my room. Selvina sent me whole Valley of cactuses! I really appreciate it :)

The Quebrada de Humahuaca is a narrow mountain valley located in the province of Jujuy in northwest Argentina, 1,649 km north of Buenos Aires. It is about 155 km long, oriented north-south, bordered by the Altiplano in the west and north, by the Sub-Andean hills in the east, and by the warm valleys (Valles Templados) in the south.

The name quebrada (literally "broken") translates as a deep valley or ravine. It receives its name from Humahuaca, a small city of 11,000 inhabitants. The Grande River (Río Grande), which is dry in winter, flows copiously through the Quebrada in the summer.

The region has always been a crossroads for economic, social and cultural communication. It has been populated for 10,000 years, since the settlement of the first hunter-gatherers, which is evidenced by substantial prehistoric remains. It was a caravan road for the Inca Empire in the 15th century, then an important link between the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata and the Viceroyalty of Peru, as well as a stage for many battles of the Spanish War of Independence.

The Quebrada de Humahuaca was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2 July, 2003. 

However the most happiness I received from the additional envelope. This small envelope contained Argentinian Pesos! As I collect banknotes of different countries it was absolutely amazing surprise for me :)

Also now I have Argentinian stamps :)
