Biking the Limay River Valley (sun!!)

Wow, today was another really special day! Guido, our mountain bike guide, met us in the morning at our hotel. The sky was clear, the wind was minimal and the temperature was comfortable.

Today’s ride was on a wide dirt/gravel road, kind of a nice change from the single-track on our last ride. We followed the Limay River over rolling hills for a couple of hours. We saw a few condors and at least one kingfisher. In the distance we could see some cool rock formations, a bit like Monument Valley, but surrounded by grassland and scrub brush.

At the most prominent of the rock outcroppings lay our lunch spot, a beautiful estancia (ranch) on the river, where a traditional Argentinian BBQ was prepared for us, with Mendoza wine.

We liked how they had matching dogs and cat—all very friendly! We could have stayed there for days!Read more
