Finally the road from Andalgala to Santa Maria has beaten Rosco's Rocky Road Adventurers. We left Andalgala, heading up to Minas Capallitas at 3100m up above the clouds. The road going up was under repair from the recent rains, so it was in good condition, but we could see the damage that had been caused.
