Back on the road. Quebrada de Cafayette

It felt great to be back on the road again, fully rested and with Argentina ahead of us. On leaving Salta we chose to head directly to Cafayette, a small desert oasis renowned for it's wines. The quebrada on route was spectacular, we were especially thankful of the cloud cover as this region gets very hot.

There was an alternatve route to Cafayette taking in SA highest pass at 4895m, it was only 10m LOWER than the highest pass we cycled in Bolivia!


ยด'The devils throat' and my Koga. A dry waterfall, only one of the imaginatively named features along the length of the quebrada.
















Putting my feet up for 5 minutes.
