Cool things on the loop trip

The scenery has been spectacular all throughout our stay in Chile. From the Andes to the coastal mountains there is never ending parade of beautiful Vistas. We saw entire hillsides planted with avocados. We saw two horses in a field. As we were heading back into Santiago we saw a group of giant Boulders where people were rock climbing.  And all along we were entertained with Leo's insightful comments. He knew much about the history the landscape and we got to practice different Spanish words that we knew.

We could not have picked better weather.


We saw a variety of crops from table grapes to walnut trees to avocado trees


The black and white helps bring out some of the stuff that had two large of a contrast to see in color

I took this picture from the moving car but if you look close you can see people bouldering


Bouldering is a term for rock climbing on small stand-alone boulders


The cars were parked up along the road for a long stretch. Everyone was here to rock climb


The sun was setting so we had the magic hour lighting


The road passed through a very narrow Canyon in this area
