From Mendoza to San Juan, Argentina

My motorcycle trip this time is from Mendoza to San Juan in Argentina.

The distance is approximately 170 km.

I am leaving Mendoza.

I was able to get onto RN40 right away, so I’ll head north from here.

RN40, like the southern region, has many areas under construction.

The road surface here is in poor condition, so I need to drive carefully.

I entered San Juan province about an hour after departure.

I remembered that the mountain scenery in the northern region is beautiful.

As I got closer to San Juan, the number of vehicles increased.

And then I entered San Juan.

I drove a short distance and arrived at the Square of May 25th, the center of town.

My trip this time was a simple one, just heading north, but construction and road conditions along the way caused delays, and I arrived longer than I expected.

It was a little disappointing that I couldn’t enjoy the beautiful scenery while driving.
