On the way to Bariloche, I stopped for a week in Cordoba, the second largest city in Argentina (only 1 mil people), a town with lots of universities and factories. For several of the days there, i rented a car with some friends and drove around in the mountains south of the city. Unfortunately, because of the weather (fog) we weren´t able to go into the condor national park to see the condor nesting sites, but we did see plenty flying overhead. We also found one of the weirdest and coolest museums down a dirt road on the other side of the mountain range from Cordoba, basically in the middle of nowhere. Its the collection of a french anthropologist that now has 20k pieces relating to humans with everything from machines to shrunken heads to mummies.
