Cronica de Viaje - 17-18 Febrero - Conguillio

On saturday morning we took the flight from Santiago to Temuco.
Once there we rented a car, we were so happy with the choice! We drove for 2 hours to arrive to the natural park El Conguillio. The roads there were awful for our car!
We stayed the three of us on a Cottage, quite small and a bit cold.
Our cottages were on the base of the Llaima vulcano. The last eruption was in 1957 but the place is amazing.. all desertic as if you were on the moon. All the mountains beside the lava are plenty of these amazing trees called Araucarias.
We stayed three days in the Conguillio. First day we just went around by car. We stopped on Arco iris Lake. Spectacular! the clearest water I ever seen, and you could see the trees on the bottom of the lake, destroyed by the last eruption, with amazing colours. I hope the pictures reflect what we saw in real life.
We walked around laguna verda and Conguillio Lake.
the day after we woke up early and javi and myself went up the mountains trekking. We walked around 3-4 hours, and the views of the vulcano and the lake were great! the day before we arrived to the Park snowed a lot, quite rare for the summer, and there was plenty of snow while we were trekking up the mountain. My face is red again beacuse of the sun! My mother will kill me!
Today we woke up eraly again and we went for three hours riding horses. was so nice riding on that desertic place. I would have taken so many pictures...
Now we drove back to Temuco, and Javi and Eva are returning to Santiago and I´m starting my trip alone! scary!
I´m not feeling very well.. (stomach problems...) and I hope I get well as i feel so uncomfortable.
javi is returning home with my pictures and he will be posting them on this blog soon.
I´m going to miss them, they have been really nice with me, and they are trying to convince me to change my route so we can do another trip together before I fly to Buenos Aires.. We will see, that is going to be in a month!
