Above - Next morning we climb Cerro Hudson, or so we thought - when the
mist cleared a bit we found we were not quite on the top

Above - We headed out via this river valley. The log spanning the river
provided a good bridge
Above - Bob walking down the river
Above - Looking up at a peak above the valley
Above - This part of the valley had been affected by volcanic
erruptions.
Above - We crossed the river at this spot - this was quite a tricky and
dangerous operation!
Above - Further down we used this bridge to cross a side
river.
Above - Further down the valley - local farmers were very hospitable -
inviting us inside for mate and cake. We then regained the road and
hitched back to Coyhaique.
