a witness of the constant attack of man to the natu-
ral landscape), and the ski stations of the Vallecitos,
Los Puquíos y Los Penitentes, and the valley that
leads to the tunnel that borders Chile.
Finally we reach the National Park, we climb to
the Valley of the Horcones, andwhere the giant that
holdsmany glaciers awes us. It was an amazing and
powerful sight; the mountain would crush us with
its beauty and magnificence that would reflect in
small lagoons. A condor would roam the summits.
The snow would embellish the Aconcagua, god of
the Andes and home of the mysterious gods.
It is one of the most beautiful views in the pla-
net, that great hill at the end of the frozen valleys,
decorated with eternal ices and tormented by their
accident relief.
San Juan and la Difunta Correa
Following the Andes to the north, we cross the
farm fields and vineyards to reach the calm and
shadowy city of San Juan, with its parks and its
province activity.
At 60 kilometres we visit one of the most im-
portant sanctuaries in Argentina, where the de-
vout pilgrimage and leave plate of cars, small wood
houses and strange thank you offerings.
The legend tells that Deolinda Correa past away
here, who in times of theCivilWar stirs in1840, trying
to catch up with her husband, died of thirst and hun-
ger under a tree, holding her baby against her chest.
