Esquí para libre





Used the skins to hike these few tracks outside of the resort. The terrain is endless, including this nearby lower ridge line.

Summer of 2007




I am Back in Argentina.
Myself and nine other random travelers queued up in Mendoza waiting for the pass to clear during a few days of storms. Finally, we pooled our resources and rented a van with driver to make the 6 hour drive to Las Leñas instead of the weather hesitant bus.

Road trip to Las Leñas






Much better views than from a bus.

Cachi

August 18th

Day trip to elevated town of Cachi. One block wide, so basically just a nice shady plaza and a large old cemetery on the outskirts. Nice ride switch backing above one of the regions Calchaquíe valleys and through a high plateau.

Tomorrow one last overnight bus and a quick flight to Buenos Aires.

Northern Argentina

August 17th - 19th

One last town to see in the far north. Almost the same latitude as Chilean Atacama desert and not that far. I feel as though I have taken the long way around since I could have easily come here back in July. City of Salta, with many markets and one grand plaza.
