The Road to Portillo, Chile through the Aconcagua Valley, The Highest Peak in South America!

Well a nice bonus on the road to Portillo was passing through the Aconcagua Valley heading towards both Portillo and Argentina, and catching views of Aconcagua, the highest Summit in North or South America at 6959m (22831 ft) Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Americas, and the Highest Mountain outside Asia. The mountain is actually in Argentina kind of near Mendoza, but obviously can be seen from a long ways off on a clear day. We were lucky to get such a good view of it because Jaun, our intrepid and knowledgeable driver, said that fog and haze often prevents views of the mountain. Bueno! We had a good day!
