Between two pasos

It's raining a bit when we wake up, but the sky is blue in some places. Therefore, we are rather optimistic. We take the valley between the two passes, the track going North to the pass Pino Hachado. It's a semi-desert valley, with a rio in the center. The river brings a lot of greenery, and the flocks are good there. It creates an oasis landscape with this green and this life, which contrasts with the surrounding heat and aridity.

We climb quite a bit until we reach the asphalt. From there we start a descent, again in a beautiful valley, which looks a bit more like a western. Speed record beaten for both of us: 67kmph for François, 65kmph for Floriane. It was a real nice descent!

We stop to sleep in a farm. We setup our teepee in the stable.
