Sat. Feb. 5
Part of the group headed back to Chile on Friday, and the rest of us stayed until Saturday before retuning. Guillermo and Veronica, Luis and Miriam and myself left Mendoza at 10:00 on Saturday and headed to the border. The ride was beautiful with a cloudless sky and warm temperature until we approached the summit of the Andes Mountains where there was a marked drop in temperature for a while.
The border crossing at Paso Libertadores has been simplified as promised by President Piñera of Chile and didn’t take nearly as long as it used to. Seems like the road construction delay took longer. Once over the Andes in Chile, we stopped for a break and refueled the bikes and had something to drink before heading to Santiago, arriving at about four in the afternoon. And so ends one of the best trips ever.
