Cuesta la Chilca

Cuesta la Chilca - Argentina

A few kilometres after the city of Andalgalá, I drive to the mountains via the Cuesta la Chilca. The word cuesta can be translated as 'slope' 'hill' or 'ascent.'

The road climbs nearly a 1000 metres over a relatively short distance. It is an impressive work of engineering since the road zigzags precariously on the mountains along chasms without any protective walls.

Famaillá

Famaillá - Argentina

The Parque Tematico Historico del Bicentenario Ciudad De Famaillá is home to a series of beautiful wall carvings, and the avenue along the small park has a range of odd sculptures not always done well.

It is a nice place for a break after long hours of driving and also for a lunch.
