We head out of the valley and up to Barreal, North of Uspallata.
This is real cowboy country we are heading into, gravel roads and not a house in site.
The road we follow leads us though Parque National El Leoncito which has views of the Cordillera de Ansilta, a stretch of the Andes with 7 peaks ranging from 5130m to 5885m.
We were also lucky enough to spot some wild Guanacos...
Stop in a small town called Barreal, very small and dusty, only about 2000 people live here.
A nice surpise at our hostel of invitation to the evenings Asado....which was truly delicious...and washed down with some very nice local San Juan wines.
not a bad day at all!!
Back to Mendoza tomorrow to give back the car...
its been a wicked way to get round and have a lot more freedom to check out the Mendoza area
