It is hard to believe that a week ago we found snow, because today in Mendoza it is +30c. We took advantage of the gorgeous weather to go to the high desert near Uspallata, a small town in the Andes. The intention was to make a short video of the truck in action. We drove some desert tracks, stopped for lunch in the bush, and did some more driving in the afternoon. Before getting back into Uspallata and driving back home I stopped at the Cerro De Los Siete Colores (the hill of the seven colours) to take advantage of the late afternoon light and do some photography.
