On Saturday morning we start a nice trip using a private road to a gold mine up to the Andes near to Acongagua mount. Thanks to MK for the invitation
Starting the ascension near to el Colorado River 
At 1.800 mt the snow start to appear.
Going up and up
Snow blowers was working to clear the road of the last snow fall just 2 days before. Click image to enlarge Snow chains required, the road was freezzing! Eduardo

Our Defender and the Aconcagua mount at the right side. Click image to enlarge Going to the barbecue place 
The road with the sun is getting mudy
Spot the white Defender
Finally at the barbeque place. The road continues for other 40 km but no time to continue.
Nice place, good company, excelent food prepared at the patagonian style and an excelent weather Click image to enlarge Eduardo MY 2007 110 SW PUMA 2.4: Big Fog of 64' MY 1994 Jayco 1207 Folding camper: "El Tremendo" Click image to enlarge |

Thanks for the comments and to MK for get all the permissions to use this road, we really enjoy the trip more than anyone.
Also was a good opportunity to show for the first time the wheel chains.
In my case the standard ones (General Grabber 235/85R16) and I think that MK have the same ones. Cheers Eduardo MY 2007 110 SW PUMA 2.4: Big Fog of 64' MY 1994 Jayco 1207 Folding camper: "El Tremendo" Click image to enlarge |
