Mendoza, Argentina
Tuesday 22nd January; we drove into the high Andes via the pass between Mendoza [Argentina] and Santiago [Chile]. At 2800m [9800feet] after a short walk you reach a viwpoint of the "roof of the Americas" Aconcagua [6962m] the highest mountain outside of the Himalayas. The drive is spectacular with amazing geographical features. Included are sea fossils at 2800m, volcanic, glacial, earthquake and erosion through water and snow. See photos and description...
