Our First day in Yacanto San Javier Cordoba.
A really nice guy that we met earlier on the motorcycle trip coming up north from Ushuaia mentioned that he owned some cabin here and invited Tracey and I to them.
Normally we would have passed an offer like this, especially since our interaction was relatively brief, but considering we have been meeting up with so many nice people here in Argentina, EXPECIALLY from Cordoba we decided to take him up on his offer.
We are DEFINITELY pleased we took them on it as well. The Cabins are small rustic and have a wood stove in that are super cute. The scenery here in Yacanto San Javier Cordoba is reminiscent what you would see riding in both in Marin, CA and interestingly enough northern Mexico near the border of Texas. http://complejomadretierra.com.ar/ingles.html
The ride we did today was one that I had read about in a tour magazine that I found in a hostel that we stayed at. It just so happened to be by there cabins as well. Since I read about it I asked other riders whether or NOT they had heard about it and most had not
The ride was simply spectacular and I am a little surprised that is NOT more known amongst the "adventure riding" community. I would definitely recommend coming out here and staying in these cabins.

Ernesto “Che” Guevarra Museum
Heading south to Yacanta San Javier, in Cordoba Argentina and decide to take a slight detour to the Che museum.
The museum is set up in one of Che’s first house in the city of Alta Gracia. His parents ended up moving there because it is up in the hills and Che was asthmatic.
Seeing his family photos, living situation, and knowing his passion for equality and obviously knowing what ultimately happened to him was somewhat of an emotional experience for me.
I was also impressed to see that both Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez went there for the inauguration of the museum.
