4300 km

So far we have travelled 4300 km on the bike - through ever changing scenery and terrain. Most of the roads so far have been tarmac of sorts but we have also been on stone and mud tracks. It has been quite hard going on the bike in the heat!

After we left Iguazu we travelled west across an area called the Chaco where it was over 40 degrees! Dee said it was like the Australian outback! This took us to Salta and then south on Ruta 40 in the foot hills of the Andes. We travelled through the Quebrada de Cafayate, a mini Grand Canyon with its amazing rock formations. We have travelled on very solitary roads and we seem very insignificant in the middle of nowhere and in a real adventure. We are now in Barreal west of Ruta 40.
