Aicuña Is Not an Albino Town on VQR:

The truth is, to get to Aicuña you have to want to get there, fervently and with great effort. It’s a hundred and fifty-five miles from the capital of La Rioja, and six miles from the closest road—which is more of a pebble-strewn path than an actual road. Aicuña doesn’t appear on most maps. Some of Aicuña’s inhabitants say it’s an almost forgotten town at the end of the world, farther from Buenos Aires, geographically and culturally, than the Andean hamlets in Bolivia and Chile.
