Ep.14: Giant cacti on the descent of the Andes • Catamarca 4x4

We will follow an alternative off-road route to reach Ruta 16, which will take us back to Brazil.
Starting from the Calchaquíes Valley, we will cross the Los Cardones National Park, travel the famous Recta del Tin Tin and descend through the Andes region via the winding Cuesta del Obispo.
In the small town of El Carril, we will participate in a traditional local festival.
On the long way back, we will also pass through Posadas and Maringá in Brazil.
