Kudos to the Argentinian authorities! During the last 10 days we passed lots of remote checkpoints, without a single case of corruption! Very neat. The San Francisco Pass (4726m) marks the highest and furthermost point of our trip. We are now officially on the way home! Next stop: Nevado Tres Cruces National Park.

Improvised dinner at the shelter in Nevado Tres Cruces. We shared the hut with a nice bunch of hikers. Their goal: climbing the nearby Ojos del Salado (6893m), the world's highest volcano.
The night at the mountain hut was freeezing cold. I'm not sure if I slept at all. Now, with the sun up, I am still stiff with cold, trying to revive my numb feet, my back and my frozen fingers. We decide to leave this chilly wonderland and go straight to...
...the beach!!
