Argentina Day 3 - El Infiernillo

We left Taffi del Valle just before dawn and climbed up to the pass at El Infiernillo at an elevation of 3042 masl and spent all day birding up and down the various quebradas (ravines) looking for a number of rather special birds.  It was cold at this altitude at dawn with a hint of a frost but it soon warmed up as the sun came up.
