    It's time to get onto the river! We book an intensive three days of kayak school with two lessons (i.e. about 5-6 hours on the water) each day. Our instructor is Santiago, the owner of Austral Expediciones. He was recommended to us by friends (and insanely good kayakers) we met in Slovenia and we can only be thankful for this recommendation! Santiago starts right away to analyse our weaknesses on an easy section of Espolón river. During the lessons, we get to work hard on them, improving both our paddling and our eskimo roll. Most lessons take place on a class II section of Espolón, one on Laguna La Paz, where we focus on our rolling.
    At the end of the three days I can barely move. I think I have never been so tired in my entire life.
