                                             Getting higher


                            General San Martin came this way in
                            1817 when crossing the Andes


                                           Puente Del Inca
                            Puente Del Inca is a naturally formed
                            bridge that crosses the Rio Vacas, one
                            of the main tributaries of the Mendoza
                            River. Situated among soaring peaks,
                            the landscape is dotted with ruins,
                            natural hot springs and unusually
                            coloured soils. Even Charles Darwin
                            was impressed when he visited the area,
                            having depicted the bridge in several
                            drawings.


                                           Up, up, up



                                  The colours are like Bolivia
