The weather today was absolutely perfect. The people at Challhuaquen Fishing Lodge, where we are staying, told us that the normal weather here is rainy and overcast. So we were very lucky to have a beautiful sunny day to explore
We explored a bit of Los Alerces National Park. We did 3 short hikes. The first hike was to a view point and to see some rock art.
The second hike was a short hike to Cascada Irigoyem.
Our final hike in the park was through the Forest to the Rivadavia River.
Finally, we drove to a more southern part of the park to see the dam and hydroelectric plant.
We have really enjoyed our stay at Challhuaquen Fishing Lodge. It is in a beautiful place but what has made it really great is the people. The Chef, Bruno and the hostess and waitress, Camilia have been fantastic.
In addition we have talked to some fascinating guests. An Argentine family of about 10 people was having a reunion here. The two men we talked to the most were a farmer with a big farm south of Buenos Aires and a Lawyer who is retired from a senior position at a big agribusiness company. They have both travelled a lot. They spoke perfect English and we discussed everything from politics to travel adventures.

it’s always the people who make everything memorable, isn’t it? Do the people you meet ever ask about politics in the U.S. or are they too polite?

so true. We haven’t really talked politics. I think in general it’s hard to do when you don’t speak the language and these people spoke perfect English. Also this is the first time we’ve sat down and had time to talk. We agreed that Trump is bad.
about their election which was coming up Sunday they were worried. They said they had a choice between a disaster and a crazy man. The said at least the crazy man would do the right thing. Sunday night after the polls had closed they were very pleased that Milei had won.
