The road conditions are pretty moderate and the driver drives pretty much at the limit, which makes the four-hour drive rather uncomfortable.

But as so often turns out to be <strong>South American construction not our quality standards <\/strong>corresponding. Somehow everything seems to me like in the Wild West, behind a pretty facade there is usually a simple building full of defects, which doesn&#039;t give the impression of being particularly durable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6966\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6966\" style=\"width: 1170px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mlnnzcgf0rm9.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/marcelgross.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2015_06_10_1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-opt-id=709161702  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6966\" src=\"https:\/\/mlnnzcgf0rm9.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/marcelgross.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2015_06_10_1.jpg\" alt=\"There are still carts driving around here\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlnnzcgf0rm9.i.optimole.com\/w:1170\/h:658\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.marcelgross.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2015_06_10_1.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/mlnnzcgf0rm9.i.optimole.com\/w:600\/h:337\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.marcelgross.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2015_06_10_1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6966\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There are still carts driving around here<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We explore the town on foot.
