Distance and timing basis
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Coordinates are curated start-via-end route seeds. They are not a surveyed centreline or navigation geometry. Run road snapping, topology checks, access checks and a live-status review before publication.
Access context
Do not auto-publish. Snap to a routable road network, verify current closures, legal motorcycle access, surface, permits, border controls and local safety information.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Cordoba Argentina
Córdoba is Argentina's second city and its oldest university town, a sprawling, energetic place of about 1.4 million people on the edge of the Pampas, where the flat plains meet the first hills of the Sierras. It was founded in 1573 by Spanish settlers, and its colonial heart is among the best preserved in the country. The Jesuit Block, a group of churches, university buildings and a school that dates from the seventeenth century, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the National University of Córdoba, founded in 1613, is one of the oldest in the Americas. The city is nicknamed La Docta, the learned, and the large student population gives it a lively, youthful feel.

Planning note
Cordoba Argentina sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Mina Clavero.
2. Mina Clavero
Mina Clavero is a small river town on the western side of the Sierras de Córdoba, in the long, dry Traslasierra valley, and it is where the Camino de las Altas Cumbres comes to rest after crossing the mountains. You arrive from the east after a climb through grassland and rock that tops out above two thousand metres, then a descent in a long run of bends that opens suddenly onto a view of the whole valley, flat and golden, with the Sierra de Comechingones low and blue beyond it.
