Side-trip to Salta
Bife de Lomo
We left the bikes in SA de Los Cobres and took a six-hour bus journey down to Salta, the provincial capital, at a balmy 1000 metres.
As with most places in Argentina, Salta served up thick, juicy bife de lomo -- a.k.a. cyclists' delight. I haven't eaten this much red meat in my life. Bife practically constitutes our every dinner or lunch. It's what the body craves and what Argentina offers in spades. That and extreme scenery with high passes.
