Monteros & the jungle

We met this group of cyclists at Alpachin who kindly escorted us to the campsite and were very patient with our 'touring pace'.

We asked the police in Alpachin where the nearest campsite was. After laughing a lot and saying he loved Maradonna, he told us it was only 6km.

18km of continous uphill we arrived exhaused!




Wild horses are everywhere in Argentina.













Only our 3rd puncture in 3.5 months.

We'd like to thank Steve at Cowley Cycles for his technical support.
















Ciao.
