For those who love adventure and off the beaten track places
. I'm just back in B's A's after an exhausting trip along the Highway Route 40 that runs both South and North of Argentina along the Andes Mountains.
Something on the road & the mountains
It's a difficult road to drive, goes from a good motor way all the way up to over 4000 meters in the mountains where the air is hard to breath, runs along river beds as dirt roads and in this season of summer some of the rivers are bursting with water and its near impossible to cross. All the same I was able to do it an 2 wheel drive car, without to much trouble, more to luck I think than other questions.
High up in The Mountain Rally.
Its for the idea of rally car project I'm working on, so I checked out places hotels routes and sight seeing tourist like places as well as those off the beaten track, for future use, I hope to be able to come up with a good plan for taking adventures tourist out on a 4WD trucks, and maybe why not a Carabella Kaiser Frazer.... or some other vintage car like a Kaiser built jeep Willy here in Argentina.
I wonder if any of you have driven vintage cars
..
We had a fantastic time, sleeping in really some very nice hotels, comfortable ones, as well as one owned by the US actor Robert Duval. He married a woman from Argentina.
The scenery goes without saying was supreme, from low flat lands to high mountains, dry weather, and strong sun shine; cool in the shade as well at night. Fantastic the scenery of the country side........ to incredible old mud houses used still by the natives of this continent.
Here you can se some photos of the trip:
