Each weekend we want to further explore the amazing territory we are living in. Volcanic peaks and ridges rise to the skies all around us and dramatic rivers flow down their slopes. Our last excursion took us to the hot spring spa at Termas Palquien.
Along the way, we stopped to see the Saltos, or waterfalls, descending along the river valley. Our first stop was at Salto Leon, the Lion Waterfall. Unlike the other falls we have visited here, today's saltos descend in a ribbon from a dizzying height to flow in a pool of spray and mist. And this is the summer dry season! I can only imagine the forces when the river flows with spring runoff.
After a dip in the hot springs at the head of the valley, we stopped at the Salto de China for another short hike to the foot of the falls, before returning home to our casa. Tomorrow, we have big plans to learn to river kayak.
