In search of the mountians.
As you'll know if you recieve our email update (if you don't, email us and we'll add you to our list) we had some trouble leaving San Juan. On our 3rd attempt we made it out of town and set about finding the Andes. Unfortunately this meant heading over a secondary range.
A nice old couple we're kind enough to let us camp at their little finca. The had a beautiful and remote valley all to themselves and hundreds of goats which just loved to chew everything, even sweaty cycling shorts hanging out to dry (Sarah's).
23km and 1130m of ascent. Not massive by Andean standards but our legs aren't as young as they used to be and it was very steep.
Abra de Santa Clara.
