78. Bolivia - the Laguna Route
16 listopada 2019, Boliwia ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
The Laguna Route is a passage from Uyuni in southwest Bolivia to San Pedro Chile, located at the North end of the Atacama Desert.

The route is mostly sandy dirt and rocks, aptly named for the spectacular colorful lakes that you pass along the way.

It took us about 8 hours, including one stop for lunch and to reduce the air on the tires for the ride, to get to the first lake. Here are some pix before we reached the lake. Czytaj więcej

Laguna Colorado is a shallow salt lake on the Laguna Route. It's depth runs between 14 & 60 inches, depending on the season.

The Laguna is all about the color and the almost extinct puna flamingos.

80. Bolivia - Laguna Route - Hostel
16 listopada 2019, Boliwia ⋅ ⛅ 45 °F
Craig and I had originally expected we may be camping out at night on the Laguna Trail. We were delighted to learn that there were some simple accomodations in the area.

We located a set of very basic hostels about 5 miles from Laguna Colorado. No town, just these crumbling brick buildings, specifically for Laguna Colorado visitors. But, there were dormitory rooms with 4 walls, 2 beds & a shared bathroom, and that sure beats dropping a sleeping bag on the floor of a tent, so we were grateful.

$9 for the room, $3 each for dinner (first time I ever tasted llama), and $1.50 for breakfast. Czytaj więcej

84. Change of Plans - off to Argentina
20 listopada 2019, Argentyna ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
Due to all of the demonstrations and roadblocks in Bolivia, we were forced to cut out many of the Bolivian cities from our itinerary, and ended up in Chile about 10 days ahead of schedule.

Chile is plagued with political unrest as well, so rather than fight it by heading down the Chilean coast, we scooted over to Argentina. I do have a flight home from the Chilean capital of Santiago on Dec 4, where the political demonstrations are focused, but we're hoping tensions subside before then, so I can get to the airport. If we can't drive through Chile safely, I may have to grab a flight from Argentina to Chile, just to get access to the Santiago airport. Geez. (Btw - when I mention this to my youngest sister, she just says "Well, that's what you signed up for, right?". And yup, she's right)

In the meantime, we went north in Argentina to a town called Humahuaca, which is described as "a painter's palette of color on barren hillsides". Enjoy the astounding colors of the mountains in these pix - they are not touched up. Czytaj więcej

Today's travels took us from Salta City to the wine region of Cafayate. If you're tired of the mountain pix, just skip this step. For some reason, when we're driving through them, my camera finger gets trigger happy!

Tomorrow - wine tasting. Czytaj więcej

86. Argentina - Mendoza
29 listopada 2019, Argentyna ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
Love Mendoza! Greater Mendoza is a city of almost 2 million people. Strolling through the streets, I feel like I'm in a mini version of NYC (without the skyline). The city of 21 sq miles is lined with shops, restaurants, bars, and plenty of accommodation options. There's no shortage of plazas and small parks as well.

The main industries here are olive oil and wine production, with a focus on Malbecs. We took a wine tour at 2 wineries, including Domiciano Winery, with a mostly Spanish speaking group. I connected with an old friendly woman who walked with a cane. I think she got hammered pretty fast. I didn't understand a word she said, but she made a joke and laughed, and I laughed too. (Maybe I was a little hammered as well?) Czytaj więcej

The sights on the drive from Mendoza across the border back to Chile included the mighty Aconcagua, the highest peak in North/South America, as well as several ski resorts. Portillo Resort is famous for Inca Lake that waits to punish any out of control skiers with an icy bath. Lends a new sense of urgency to the phrase "ski in control"! Czytaj więcej

My last stop in South America before I head home!

Because of more political unrest and protestor demonstrations, Santiago was a bit of a bust for us. At the suggestion of the concierge, Craig and I set off on a day trip to Vina del Mar and the coast. It was a casual day of people watching at the beach and on the peatones, along with lunch overlooking the water. Truthfully I think both of us had our minds on the changes that would occur Thursday, with me travelling back to the States and Craig continuing south on his own. Czytaj więcej
