    Caves on the guano hill

    21 novembre 2017, Chili ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Next to the cove outside the 1st and 2nd cave was the hill covered with the guano. Diana told us that till a few years ago, it was harvested by the locals as a fertilizer and even sold into the highlands. It was a lucrative but very risky business since a lot of lives were lost when people fell from the ropes that were used to hang on the hills to scrape the guano.
    This practice is banned now so only parts of the ropes used remain. There were some caves below this hill that didn't have a paved path. Hristo and I climbed into 2 of them to see inside but we didn't find any bats or anything special otherwise. The views from the the top though were quite fabulous.
