My flatmate Ileana, from Mexico, and her best friend in Chile, Hector, invited me to go on a day trip to the Andes on Saturday.
YES.
Rio Mapocho, which goes to Santiago.
Rio Yeso.
Deciduous trees, not pine, like in the Rockies.
Me!
El tunel Tinoco. An abandoned train tunnel…
…that people actually go into.
Pretty cool!
As we went higher, there were fewer trees…
…until there were NONE.
Abandoned mining camp.
I mean…come on.
There’s apparently an extraordinary view into another valley higher up, but it was Easter weekend, and this is as far as we got!
Yet another river!
On the way back down.
This is the town of San Jose, in the national park San Jose Y Maipo. Kind of like Banff.
There was a huge festival and craft sale on for Easter.
MOUNTAINS.
Seriously.
Sunset.
