Our plans aren’t always well suited to the weather forecast. For example, we decided it was a good idea to rent bikes on the hottest day of the week – which was also the hottest day of our time in Argentina.

We left early (9:30) and headed to Bodega Etchart (3km outside town) and got stuck on a tour with high school students from Jujuy. It was by far the worst Bodega we’ve visited. Etchart is a huge winery, however, we only had the opportunity to taste two wines, both of which were Torrontes (white wine), one was dry and the other was a sweet wine. We didn’t even have the opportunity to taste any red wines. So, we quickly hopped back on our bikes and pedaled as fast as we could to get far, far away from there.
Our next planned stop was Finca De Las Nubes. We had heard it was a bit outside of town (5km) and on a hill, but completely reachable by bike. Someone forgot to mention, however, that the hill was steep and the road we needed to travel was not gravel, but ROCK with RIDGES. By the time we arrived, we were extremely hot and exhausted.
