DAY FIVE
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, and in this case this is definitely true. Here´s some moments from our 8 hour journey up and down the Volcan Villacar (which is 2,800 metres tall and a part of the Andies mountains).
I know we said no words, but a few things to point out -
- it was freaking hard and pretty cold too (Gill even wore a touque)
- 75% of our group didn´t make it (the wimp paddlers from the day before lasted 45 minutes)
- snow we had to tredge through was thigh deep
- we were promised we´d be able to sled down the hill, but the snow was so deep this was impossible
- Our guide Joachim nicknamed us LAS CHICAS FORTAS!
