This is a place where you can find food, is also
a place where you can park your car if you want to walk or rent a horse and go
to Cerro Aspero. |
 MlCzb3.JPG |
Co-pilot, time to work..., we will pass 8 gates
along our way to La Cruz. |
 MlCzb4.JPG |
YES, A LITTLE FORD FIESTA!!, Again, you are
supposed to go in a tall car (or truck) or a 4WD on this road, but what is the
challenge if I do that??? |
 MlCzb5.JPG |
Some layers of white rocks in the mountains up
here, you still can see the lakes at the background. |
 MlCzb6.JPG |
There it is, the Road to Cerro Aspero, I will
love to go, but not that crazy, I can make it up here, but not down that way
in my little Fiesta, only, good 4WD, horse or hiking to get there, there is a
place to stay down there where used to be the miners houses |
 MlCzb7.JPG |
Yeap, we still here, car keep going..:D |
 MlCzb8.JPG |
