Hiking in Yerba Loca

I really love hiking in Chile because most of the time, we are completely alone.  Our trip to Yerba Loca, a sanctuary about an hour outside of Santiago, was no exception.  We had a picnic, hiked in, and sat in a stream for the better part of a day, and we saw very few other people.  Not that I need nature all to myself, but I've been on hikes that got stalled for all the crowds trying to converge on a single trail.  Not so here.  Just us and the horses.   




We decided to stop to put our feet in this stream, and the afternoon turned to our trying to make a dam.  The children succeeded, and had so much fun.  I just sat on a rock with my camera and took photos of their togetherness.  Bliss.





                                    









The finished product.  Not a trace of moving water.  Well done!
