    Backpackers paradise. Hippie paradise. Trekking paradise.

    We wanted to go the next day to the Junta. However, the high temperatures (over 30°C) and charming riverside with some shade stopped us. Chilling in such areas is a privilege. Also no remorse, we only had our trekking stuff so we could not continue reading or planning. Time to enjoy lunch, the sun, and the views. We even saw a couple of wood-peckers!

    Hitch-hikers on the way back to town (one hour drive): 2. Two Argentinians from Buenos Aires that had done a 6-day trek in different Refugio’s and camping’s. It was nearly incredible to hear that as they woke up that morning, their water bottles were Frappuccinos! One of the two guys received 1380 Whatsapp messages as his mobile connected to 3G internet after 5 days without internet access. Boom!

    Enjoy the sunset photos from el Pilquitrin!
