La Junta

(New trip to South Chile - December 3 to 31, 2013)
(see here our 2008 trip and here our 2012 trip)

(See map and practical information here)



Cochamó... La Junta...
We dreamed about these places...

The access path is a bit rugged...
13 km : that does not look like much... and yet...


We did not regret riding up
(We walked down, and did not regret it either)


 

 

 
The La Junta campground...
rather quiet, at this time of the year...

Ciro led us magnificently.

 

 

 



   
   

The site is surrounded by granite cliffs,
not unlike those of Yosemite Valley.

As a matter of fact, climbers have discovered the place,
and quite a few climbing routes have been opened (many still remain to be opened).

 

The walk down is a delight (the weather was perfect !)
