Paso Jama

Paso Jama. From Chile into Argentina.

View from the bus window. Climbing up over 4,000 meters again. Another stupendous journey. This pass, so i found out later, is on a world heritiage list for magnificence, loveliness and outstanding features.
It sure was.
I'm getting quite fond of  volcanoes.
This is one of a number of high altitude passes through the cordillera that separates Chile, Argentina and Bolivia.
The landscape as we wound our way down and through hours of mountains, gorges and valleys was surreal. Then along came the cactus that marched and gathered in familial clumps down the hills. Outstanding. Haven't seen other passes yet, but this would have to be a big must see on anyone's agenda.

  1. Harharhar, and now I can retrospectively comment on all your entries...nah, just kidding! Miss you lots --- often still think "Hey, might pop in and see Alice" when I'm in town, but Alice doesn't live there anymore. Sandra.
