Leaving Bariloche turned out to be easy enough, our mission of not using a guide book and getting to know Argentina the cheap way seemed to be working out in our favor.

We´ve met a considerable amount of travelers who have said the highway we are on (Route 40) is pretty famous for hitchhikers and some of them have even told us its the only way they travel down here! Well, here we go. After all, Im trying to have a crazy adventure right? And Ive got a really tall guy with me and pepper spray in a pen disguise just in case
