Last week, I thought I found the edge of the world in Chile. It was at 10,000ft elevation and there were hot springs. This week, I found the other side of the edge of the world: the Argentinean side. The host of the amazing posada I’m staying at (more to come on that) took us up to past the Uco valley, past Tucuyan up into the Andes. Technically, you could cross the border into Chile into the very same hot springs I was at last week. But only by mule and only for one or two months a year.
Today’s experience was so amazing. No organized tour would go here. It was 30C in the valley today and about –5C at 4000m elevation. You can see from the pictures that this isn’t your every day adventure. Even more amazing, was at the end of the day, we met up with a group of horse back riders and got to be part of their asada (amazing bbq) inside a hut at about 2500m elevation.

Our car (look at the boulder!)
This bus broke down and never made it out!
Snow?
