After an early breakfast in the Hotel, all were dressed warmly for the excursion to the Andes Mountains on the border with Chile. We all boarded the coach and made our way up to Uspallata, where a welcome 'Submarino' (Hot milk with a chocolate bar dropped inside) and a snack were obtained and then we proceeded with the climb into the higher Andes region.

What is interesting about this river is that anything that is placed in the waters becomes semi-fossilized (sulphurized) and as hard as rock after forty days. Many artefacts of different elements that have been placed in these waters are on sale by local arts and craft salespeople. A natural Thermal spring gushes out all through the old baths installations. An old stone chapel overlooks the scene. For many of the Cast and Crew this was the first time that they had ever seen snow, and what they saw was in abundance! Of course, snow frolicking and snowball fights were part of the fun. Following our stop at 'Puente del Inca' (Bridge of the Incas) we continued to the observation point of Mount Aconcagua, highest mountain in the Americas, for a photo session. The Aconcagua boasts a height of 6959 metres above sea level. From there we travelled to Las Cuevas (the Caves) which is the last border post before crossing under the Andes Range to Chile.
