What a great day! We're in Villa La Angostura, a small town an hour north Bariloche, in the lake district of Argentina along the Andes. All the buildings are styled like log cabins, and everything is covered with a fine layer of volcanic ash from the recent eruptions in Chile, but it's been rainy the whole time so it's just like a thin mud.
We did another bike adventure, this time into Parque Nacional Los Arrayanes. The park is a 12km long peninsula shaped like a teardrop, narrowly connected to the town. It's cold and rainy so we had the park all to ourselves except for a pair of joggers. We took a trail (Inca Trail guide Pedro would call it "undulating") the whole length of the park to Bosque de los Arrayanes, a grove of rare arrayán trees. The trees are striking: dense tangles of sandy brown trunks, small white flowers. Rainy but beautiful trail, minus the first 1km of "portaging" our bikes up stairs and steep trails.
