Parque Nacional Lanin, Junine De los Andes, Mendoza

Hola Amigos! This morning we arrived in Mendoza off our long haul buss from Junin De los andes (18hrs) It was not bad at all because it was night perfect time for a good sleep! 5 days before that Our good Aussi. Friends droped us off in Parque Nacional Lanin and me and Aaron camped for 5 days. The first 3 nights we stayes in a campsight on the lake rite under the volcano. We went on many hikes to the waterfalls that were coming from the volcano. 3 days later we hiked 2 miles from where we were carying our packs, mines 1/2 my body weight to a little picknick area with a bell on the beach. As soon as we rang the bell a little old man came out across the lake and paddled across to get us. We were then taken to a little camp ground across the lake where we camped for 2 nights. The first night was great we hikes all over the little are and were lead to a little cove on the lake nothing really that exciting,except for the home made emphenadas and bread the little family made for us. And having a conversation and me saying "im really happy it didnt rain that really would have sucked" But as the day progressed into night it began to poor down rain. Within the first hour I was shoveling water out of my tent with a small tupper where container. And every item I owned was soaked with water. Once we got to junin I had to try and dry all my stuff out as much as possible becuase it was just adding more weight to my 65lb pack which is not what I wanted. And now were in Mendoza for the next 3days.





Here is a map of most of the cities I have been to not sure how well it will turn out.
