Last days in Argentina

Argentina is known for it's excellent wine and hundreds of vineyards...


I tried various wine in the towns of Mendoza and Cafayate.


Mendoza wine tour







Parque Provincial Ischigualasto and Parque National Talampaya are UNESCO world heritage sites were they are the only place on the planet were complete geological sediments from the triassic DINOSAUR period in the Mesozoic Era can be found...


I discovered that riding a mountain bike in the hot sun in dusty dirt can be quite difficult, but the little hike up Cerro Morado onlt 1,800 meters was quite easy and a nice view of the park...

Salta is my last stay in Argentina before heading off to Bolivia, where I have discovered that I need a visa to enter Bolivia....Oh the joys of minor detour and delay!
