Alta Montaña, Puente Del Inca – Daniel heads over the Andes

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

Hola amigos!

After a night of dancing to excellent music at a bar called Por Acá (and subsequently a rather subdued Saturday), I went on a trip today along the Alta Montaña (High Mountain) route, a road that climbs up into the Andes, connecting Argentina and Chile.

The Andes

Our first stop was a town called Uspallata, which is at the start of the Alta Montaña road. It’s a pretty place where we had some coffee and stretched our legs (as we’d already been on the road a couple of hours from Mendoza). There was a mural on the main road in the town, with the words ‘trata a los demas como quieres que te traten a ti’, or ‘treat others how you want them to treat you’, which I thought was a lovely message.
