Gualliguaica


Earlier this month I rode out to the Equi Valley with Gustavo and his wife. We had a very pleasant ride out to Gualliguica where we stopped for breakfast. Known by the locals as "The Drowning Town", the Gualliguica you see today is in fact a reconstruction of the displaced original that is now under the Puclaro dam. A nice historical record of the town's demise can be found here:-

A new road had to be built around the dam, the multiple S-bends around the lake border are particularly satisfying on two wheels :-)
