The sunny autumn weather continued this morning as we continued west out of Cordoba towards Mendoza. For the first time in weeks (maybe a couple of months) we are back into some mountains. This time a small range west of Cordoba called appropriately Cordillera del Cordoba, which tops out at about 6,500 ft.

We followed a series of minor roads in an effort to hit a couple of national parks. On the way we passed through a lake side resort town of Carlos Paz - Argentines sure like their vacations.

The first of the national parks, Quebrada de los Condoritos, is a breeding ground for condors. We did not get as far as the second as we decided to stop early and enjoy the sun. Also I had to look at the propane system as it has not been working correctly for the last couple of days. After a short investigation I discovered an oily liquid had filled the regulator and inhibited the flow of gas.
