Jáchal, Argentina
Big old eucalyptus trees line the road into Jachal.
San José de Jáchal, like many towns named after saints, is just referred to by it’s last name. We’ll take an extra rest day here because it is 160 km (100 miles) to the next town, with nothing but desert in between. We wake up to strong headwinds on our day off, glad that we are not biking. It will be difficult to get a good night’s sleep, and an early start, when the restaurants here don’t open until 10 pm.
