Running dry in the desert
This is a top pick! After an uneventful morning, I stopped for lunch in a cafe in a little town called Costa de Araujo (where's the Costa?). I was telling the owners about my trip: the wife's jaw dropped to the floor while the husband made the (obviously universal) ...
Exploring Valle Fertil & Ischigualasto's badlands
This is a top pick! We bussed with Vallecito from Mendoza to San Juan, a relaxing 3hrs on a double-decker, refreshments provided and ‘DJ Mouse’s 70’s Classics’ to entertain us (!?). We then hopped onto a basic, packed bus for another 4 hours along ...
Carelessness costs kilometres
This is a top pick! Usefully, Argentinian roads have milestones at every kilometre along their length. I was feeling energetic this morning and the milestones seemed to be passing very quickly indeed, when I suddenly looked down at my handlebar bag to see that my map wasn't ...
Argentina rocks!
This is a top pick! ... the petrol tank, with 3 Irish people and a slightly insane Argentinian. Seeing the national park near ("near" as in 5 hours away) from San Juan was more difficult than I had thought. When I turned up after a couple of hours in the bus from Mendoza, I ...

Agulletes a tot el cos!!!
Abans d'ahir vaig començar a correr una mica, perque aquesta vida de menjar i descansar no pot ser. No vaig estar molta estona perque feia temps que no feia res. Ahir vaig tornar-hi, al mati, i ja a tope. El resultat va ser acabar mort i amb agulletes ...
San Agustin del Valle Fertil
From San Rafael we went to San Juan (8hrs by bus) where we stopped the night, we had dinner at a nice vegetarian place, it felt so good to eat something other than beef. We had a good chat with some Argentines and drank some vino and headed the ...
Seeing in 2006 in San Juan
San Juan, Argentina - New Year 2006 (by Ray) Having spent Christmas in the tiny village of Huacalera in the north west of Argentina, we decided to head off to the even tinier village of Iruya for New Year. Not that we wanted a quiet New Year, but we ...

Day 71: October 24, 2007 Teaching in San Juan I got up at 7:00 to be out at the university by 8:30. It wasn't necessary. I was still unable to review the day's lecture. Mirta told me everything was ready but there was no cable to connect the computer ...

Day 70: October 23, 2007 Teaching in San Juan I got up at 7:00 and went down for breakfast alone, letting Elena sleep in. When I returned to the room, she was awake and complained that her toe hurt. It was almost all black and blue. I told her to lay ...

Visita a la historica bodega Graffiña
Avui em visitat la bodega Graffiña, que és la més antiga de San Juan i va ser un dels motors economics de la regio. La visita es basa en la historia de la bodega i de la familia Graffiña, que ara ja no n'és la propietaria. L'única persona que queda ...

Fossiles sous la pluie
... Naturel de l´Unesco. Question horaires, c´est assez vague, on n´arrive pas à obtenir des informations vraiment concrètes. Arrivés a San Juan vers 14h15, on apprend qu´un bus vient de partir à 14h, et le prochain part à 19h15. Le bled est si ...
