In the foothills of the Andes, Aconcagua looms ahead.

Modern gas station in Argentina, you can camp at this one, south of Mendoza.

Road construction near Potrerillos.

Ah the open road.

Tim heading into a tunnel.

Cindie heading into a tunnel and a truck leaving, I hate tunnels.

At the internet cafe, Uspallata.

Our campsite in Uspallata.

Damian, an Argentinean cyclist we met in Uspallata.

View from our campsite in Uspallata, where they filmed "Seven years out of Tibet".

Tim riding in the Andes.

There are magnificent views everywhere in the Andes.

Tim with Route 7 in the background.

The hills, the wind, ah the scenery.

Puente de Inca.

A group of American climbers we met in Puente del Inca, they made the summit of Aconcagua two days earlier.

Tim at the entrance to Aconcagua National Park.

Looking down the road we just climbed up, the tunnel in the background was for the train.

I do not like tunnels, this one was long, not enough space to ride, and dark.  I was petrified in there!

On the other side of the tunnel, thank god! Las Cuevas, Argentina.
