We leave Malargüe, where we had a very good stay, our host was really nice.
We leave for the valley of Los Molles. After 30km of flat and straight portion of road 40 is the junction for the valley. It's not very warm. We ride this portion quickly, and fortunately because it's boring. At the intersection, we fork to a small road. Less traffic, more and more mountains, little rivers...
We visit the Laguna Niña Encantada and the Pozo de Las Animas. The laguna owes its peculiarity to the volcanic rock around, and Pozo to its "construction" itself. Basically: a collapse due to groundwater, which made up the water, all in a natural way.
We sleep in front of the gendarmeria, close to a river, with a beautiful view of the mountain.
