A dirt road into Malargue. Finally a supermarket so did a
shop keeping in mind our Chile crossing in 8 days, no fresh fruit
veges or meat allowed into Chile. Parked at the back of town by a water canal
and in some shade. Good internet connection so caught up on emails.
Tried to find somewhere to buy more data but most places were closed.
They have a long siesta here. Finally found a little then headed out
of town.
We were going to do
a loop in towards the Andes but a yellow road turning to white and
already we are feeling the pinch of a dead line.
We headed for the
witches caves. The main road was sealed and fast with traffic. When
we finally reached the caves around 18:30 we were informed that the
last tour was at 6 and we’d have to wait till tomorrow. Can only
camp there in car park no where else in park. This time this was made
very clear. However did we have a booking? No then we needed to phone
a number for a booking and sorry no reception here. All this in
Spanish…….. Challenging.
So we left.
