We spent most of the day in Mendoza doing some shopping and just wandering around. It was a relaxing day with maybe a bit much walking but there wasn’t really a lot else that we wanted to do and the campsite wasn’t that exciting to stay for the day. In the evening Rhys did another […]
Day 114 : Cafayate to Bush Camp
The day dawned hot and clear which was a pity. Our first stop of the day was the site of the Quilmes ruins, an ancient city on the side of a local mountain. Because it was so hot and we were all tired we didn’t really have the required enthusiasm for the tour and I’m […]
