Now Introducing Team Dirty Dozen!

 

We’re happy to announce that the December 12th team now has a name: Dirty Dozen!
We finally started our journey today. In the morning we left Mendoza towards to the mountains. In the town of Potrerillos we were able to enjoy a delicious regional barbecue lunch on our way. Next, we continued our journey until Puente del Inca. After packing up our loads and luggage, we stayed at the company of mountain hunters at Refugio de Montaña. In the afternoon we took a walk along El Puente del Inca (Inca’s Bridge) which was declared a natural monument more than ten years ago. Tomorrow we will begin our journey through the valley of the Vacas River. Thanks for following along and we will keep in touch!
