Las Buitreras- Waterfall Finding Expedition

Su, Manolo and I went on an adventure to las Buitreras. A waterfall tucked away in the cordillera (mountains) that their cousins had gone to earlier in the summer and told them about. We didn't really have any directions so we asked people along the way and made educated guesses to find it.

Once we got up a little into the mountains, it became a one way road and very curvy and steep, so that was interesting. We ended up going way to far and being sent back to find thae trail and it was marked with a blue plastic bag. No sign. A blue plastic bag tied to a bush.

We made the long trek up and down through the forest

And finally came to the waterfall!

Waterfall :]

Tried to get a picture of all of us, but the water was so so cold and the timer on the camera not long enough.

We finally had had enough and wanted to get back to town to see our brother, Pedro, who came into Curicó that night.

Su and Manolo were very sweet and took me to a vegetarian restaurant, which is extra sweet since they eat so much meat and it is not common in Chile for people to be vegetarian. I had my first completo (popular Chilean food- a hotdog with avocado tomatoes and mayonnaise.
