Moon rising
We have arrived in the Lakes District in Argentina. It's so nice to be back in a larger city. The beautiful surroundings are an added perk. There are so many things to do here- hiking, biking, and rafting, to name a few. After we left our hostel in the city, we headed up closer to Nahuel Huapi National Park, and are staying in Green House Hostel. By far my most favorite place so far (and most expensive, of course). The atmosphere is super laid-back, and even though it is at full capacity, it doesn't seem to get crowded. Feels more like a home than a hostel.
A few days ago we took a chairlift up to Cerro Campanario, where they boast having one of the top 10 best views on the planet. I couldn't argue with that- it was absolutely gorgeous in all directions.
On 1/10 we took a canopy tour through the forest, which was very cool. It is probably the last of the tour-type things we'll be able to afford to do, at 160 pesos per person.
Yesterday we made some mistakes in our planning, and ended up taking a 2 hour hike up Cerro Catedral ski area along a mountain biking trail. No fun to hike in the hot sun, on a very dusty road, with flies relentlessly harassing you. Not recommended- take the gondola up before beginning the real hike. We were exhausted and annoyed by the time we reached the top. wish we could've seen more, but what can you do?
