Cerro Castilio

Cerro Castilio (castle) rising majestically to 2675m.












The road down to Villa Cerro Castilio.

We can't recall another descent that was this much fun on a paved road in over 6500km.










Don't do it. We've only got 2000km to go.













The bikes admiring the view.













Our route would take us down the valley of the Rio IbaƱez and into the cloud.
