The day that I had arrived in Mendoza coincided with a national 5 day long weekend holiday, and the start of the city’s annual wine festival. What a time to arrive – this was going to be fun !!!
Cycling Ruta 40, Argentina
Crazy headwinds, hot springs, beautiful scenery, a broken tent, running out of water whilst riding in +40C degree heat, and a bike reconfiguration would mark my introduction to cycling Ruta 40, Argentina’s famous cycling road.
Time for wine, Cafayate – Argentina
A scrape with a jealous bull, amazing rock formations, cycling buddies, Zumba and an appreciation of Malbec wine in Cafayate would be the highlights of this section of my cycle through northern Argentina.
