Next... The high Andies and new territories in Norther Chile


Gearing up to go south next month; going to challenge Bolivia and Peru again, this time with company.
I'm heading down on September 10 to join a couple of friends for a ride leaving Buenos Aires to the norther frontier at Jujuy through Bolivia to Peru (Cusco/Machu Picchu) - alot of cold, high altitude riding - then we will drop down to the coast at Nazca (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazca_Lines) on a challenging/nasty road (I know from experience)and head south through the desert (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atacama_Desert), diverting back into Bolivia for the Uyuni Salt Flats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salar_de_Uyuni), and then further south in Chile before cutting back across the Andies at Salta Argentina and then on to Buenos Aires.
The photo is our planning session last month.
