A pretty crazy tour, but it was good to be back on the road!
It started with cycling 1500m up through rain forest, in swealtering heat. Lukily there were some waterfalls to cool off in. Some even came with thier own buff man...
The following day was another 1000m climb, but this time it looked more like Scotland.
The next day and downhill through a candelabra cactus forest. Some over 8m tall.
Day 4 and we were in wine country. Free tasting and 2 quid a bottle. You just have to be served by ex cons...
Day 5 and we still had some wine left,
Day 5 and we still had some wine left,
to fuel us on our ride through some amazing valleys.
Day 6 and sand. F**K sand.
There is only one way, well two ways to get through cycling like that. Coca and cake.
Day 8 and the 2000 mile mark.
Even the locals dress up for the occasion
Day 9 Salta, only 157km, including a 50km climb to 3348 easy! Well maybe not. We managed the 50km of climbing, but not the 157km.
So, day 10. 6 days late, 200km and 4000m of ascent more than expected and we reached Salta. We are happy about it honest!
Where was that sand on day 6? I thought the whole route was paved? I have only done it in bus but this summer am going to cycle it.
