Day 2:
Our second biking day starts in "La Cumbre" at 1175
meters with another hard up hill that will enable us to get
incredible views from the small cities of the valley. After
nine km we arrive to the highest point at 1495 meters that
will allow us to see great yellow grass landscapes and the
small hilly path getting lost in the horizon. After lunch
we start enjoying this great down hill until arrive in Candonga,
where a small tiny white Spanish Chapel still lies in the
Sierras. We end our ride at "El Manzano" and return
to our Inn's at Valle Hermoso.

Day 3:
We travel by Minivan to La Falda, where we unload the bikes
to start another great biking day at one of the best paths
of Córdoba Province: "El Camino del Cuadrado"
(Square path). By the "Eden Hotel" an old hotel
constructed by German
immigrants after the Second World War we prepare the bikes
and we start a strong
uphill that will take us from 975 meters over the sea level
to 1285 meters in just five kilometers. We arrive to "Estancia
El Silencio" an old ranch located high in the Sierras,
heritance of Hispanic colonisation from XVIII Century that
host travellers and offers a museum. In the afternoon downhill
begins, and while enjoying this curved zig-zag awesome path,
we'll cover more than 30km to arrive to "Rio Ceballos"
at 700 meters over the sea level. There we stretch, have lunch,
take a shower and load the bikes to return to Buenos Aires.
