• Piedras de Aguila trek

    January 9, 2018 in Chile ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Before starting the trek, we went to the river nearby and filled up our bottles. The climb up was quite a steep one with loose gravel road. The total trek distance is about 2.5 kms and the elevation difference is about 350 mts. The sun was out and it was quite hot in the clear. We tried walking under the shade wherever we could but there weren't that many tall trees there. This stretch was not possible to do on the biles so we had parked and locked them at the start of the walking way but a car with 4x4 managed to go almost all the way to the top (almost 2 kms). With each turn of the track, we went higher and the valley below came more and more into the view. It was a very scenic location with the stone formations on one side and a big open valley with beautiful emerald blue river flowing through.Read more
