Off to Mendoza via Pisco
Monday, 22 February 2010 19:38
From La Serena we went to Pisco Elqui, the birthplace of the Chilean national drink, Pisco. The following day we moved to Los Andes
And bought insurance for Argentine in the morning at a shop next to the hotel. Then we hit the road to Mendoza and rode over Paso Cristo Redentor
Two years ago when I started preparing for this trip I maked this as a place I wanted to ride. Sitting at the top of the switchbacks, I grabbed the still hot exhaust pipes just to make sure I wasn’t asleep. It’s a totally awesome section of road!
Rio Mendoza
Tomorrow, its off to some wine tasting in the Maipu area.
Looks like you two are having a great time. Cheers from Anacortes! Kristin says hi.
