Old truck - relic in the Argentine Highlands

Old canadian truck from 2WW used for mining purpose. It lies on the feet of Cerro La Coipa 5050 m above sea level in the Catamarca Province, near Fiambalá (were the new Paris-Dakar passes). The truck is at aprox 4000 masl and is in very good conditions. Some people say that the truck broke because someone tossed sugar in its gas tank. We saw on route a rare cloud, not made by airplanes but by the zonda wind that comes from Chile. In that expedition I made the first absolute ascent of la Coipa.
