The first thing we did when we arrived was a trek at 7:30am. Even though it was very cold, I think this was my favourite part of the trip, as the scenery was beautiful and we saw dogs and ponies. :)
At the end of the trek we arrived at some thermal springs. The water was so so hot, which was really nice at first, but made me start sweating after a little while!
After trekking back to the bus, we went off to Laguna del Maule, on the border between Chile and Argentina. The lagoon is beautiful, but underneath lies the second most dangerous volcano in the world. If it exploded, it would destroy the whole of South and North America.
The next place we went to was Mirador Monjes Blancos (white monks lookout). I think it is called that because there are white rocks there that kind of look like people? Anyway, the views are really impressive.
Then we went to the Cascada Invertida (inverted waterfall). The guide told us that if we got too close to the edge and made one wrong move, it would be "instant death"... Safe to say that I stayed well back!
The last place we went to was some more hot springs. However these ones were not actually hot, which was disappointing!
It was a great trip, and we packed a lot into those 24 hours. All the things we saw were an example of how much amazing nature there is to see here in Chile.
