Puente del Inca - Punta de Vacas - Uspallata (83km) (Total 15228km)

A medida que iba avanzando la mañana ha empezado a haber mas gente. El grupo de colombianos, con 4 coches, ha salido al mediodia. A mi me han preguntado en chile a ver donde he visto los controles. Parecen pijos, pero ya les he dicho que en Chile no se les ocurra llevar ni un triste porro porque les van a pillar. Ellos sabran lo que hacen. Yo he subido a la frontera y he hecho mi entrada oficial en Argentina y he reparado un nuevo pinchazo (parche viejo que se ha despegado). De ahi cuesta abajo por el valle precioso del Aconcagua hasta punta de vacas y luego unos 50 km mas por un valle mas plano hasta uspallata. En la zona casi plana he tenido viento en contra fuerte. En Uspallata he encontrado una empresa de rafting con un hostal. Me alojo aqui (10 dolares) y ademas me van a hacer el favor de guardarme la bici unos 10 dias en su almacen, ya que yo me voy desde aqui en bus a Buenos Aires y de ahi a Montevideo, a pasar unos dias. El valle del Aconcagua me habia olvidado lo bonito que era, hace 2 años que estube aqui y el tramo de la carretera lo hice en bus. La bajada en bici ha sido fantastica!

As the morning progressed it has begun to be more people. The Colombian group, with 4 cars, was gone at noon. They have asked me where I have seen the police controls. They look posh kids, but I've already told them that they should not even take a little bit of weed in Chile because they will catch them. I hope they know what they do. I drove to the border and have made my official entry into Argentina and have a new puncture repaired (old patch that has failed). Hence downhill through the beautiful valley of the Aconcagua to Punta de Vacas and some more 50 km by a flatter valley to Uspallata. In that almost flat area I had strong headwind. In Uspallata I found a rafting company with a hostel. I stay here ($10) and also they are going to do me a favor and keep my bike for about 10 days in his grounds, I'm going from here by bus to Buenos Aires and from there to Montevideo, to spend a few days. I had forgotten how beautiful the Aconcagua Valley is, I did this stretch of road 2 years ago in bus. The descent was a fantastic ride!
