Gracias Victoria y Fernando for a perfect day!
After having walked down from Camp Confluencia we wanted to do a tourist day: visit Christo el Retendor, the puente del Incas and somehow get back to our International Hostel Uspallata some 120km away.
So we started hiking on the border of the ruta internacional #7 and noticed that none of the heavy trucks would stop to give us stinky hikers a lift. But only half an hour after sweating in the hot midday sun a small blue Peugeot passed first – to stop after some hundred meters. Victoria and Fernando, an argentinean couple made us a big present: a perfect day with a lift back home. The two had planned the same program we had had in mind and they just invited us to go everywhere with them.
Thanks again for a wonderful day! And for bringing us home to the hostel.
Buena Siesta
