Pucón take 2

Last Pucón trip, Clarita won a few days free stay in the cabins that we stayed at with the group. Her, Jo, and I went back down a few weeks ago, conveniently skipping Montañismo class. We weren´t very hopeful about getting to climb the volcano because the forecast was rainy and cloudy but the one day of the month with a possibility of clear skies was during our stay, so we decided to go for it. We read, watched movies, walked around town, and studied (for an art history test that actually never happened, surprise surprise). One of the days we bussed out to Parque Nacional Huerquehue and did a hike. We hiked in the rain to a raging waterfall and then up through the snow to some pretty lakes. After arriving at the cabin soaked and freezing, we decided not to go back into town to sign up to climb the volcano the next day...it´d probably be rainy again anyways.

Of course, we slept in and woke up to a gorgeous day with the volcano clearly visible through our bathroom window. Thank you nature. Even though we didn´t get to climb the volcano, we had a really good time aaaand, by being lazy and not going into town the day before we ended up saving money :) Definitely a fun and worthwhile trip. Especially because Jo and Clare are awesome people...don´t think I mentioned that before, but they are and it would´ve been impossible to not have a good time with both of them around.

By the afternoon it was windy and cloudy again. We hopped on an overnight bus and headed back to Viña. Jo has photos so I´ll post them after she posts them to facebook and I get a chance to steal em! TTFN...
