High up in the Andes mountains, a bridge with natural hot water baths can be found.
The next morning I visited Puente del Inca, a natural bridge which also contains provisions for natural hot baths. Unfortunately, these are not used anymore, although you can still see how they were organized. I discovered that it was around 15 degrees below zero and all the water was solidly frozen. After breakfast I started to walk out to the border, through the mountains, and later that day I walked the first kilometres of the Aconcagua climb which was a spectacularly beautiful walk, thanks to the perfect weather. After yet another adventure, hitching back to Mendoza was no problem at all. A Chilean family were only too happy to be able to conversate with a foreigner.
