6. Portillo Pass
I was expecting quite a bit from today. Road from Mendoza Argentina, over another high altitude pass to Chile. It was another beautiful cloudless day. I ran out of superlatives five months ago in Colombia.
Heading west straight for the mountains
I hope somebody told the railway company
how am I supposed to go through that?
There is a hole
in another incredible valley
picture perfect
I'm looking forward to describe it but can't find them
beautiful views everywhere
how on earth they built the road there?
Those were perfect skis
the mountains are rich with minerals here.
This is called Inca bridge
Nice colors.
Very cool.

Old railway station
the old Road goes through the gate and over the ridge behind it
that's the road
