A colorful smelly chaos

We started the day with breakfast in the sun on the terrass of lovely Hostal Casa 199, where we had spent the night.

After having kicked back and soaked some sun we sat out to explore Valporaiso. It's a crazy but very colorful city and we climbed many stairs during the day. By the afternoon we had gotten a bit tired of all the polluting cars and smelly back alleys and we were ready to leave.

We jumped in our shitty rental and sat course to the national park La Campana. Having battles our way out from the roads of Valparaiso we reached the highway and after about 1.5h drive we arrived to the park. We found a fantastic private spot on a campsite occupied only by a few others. It was quite a change to crowded Patagonia and also a very nice experience to be able to feel ones fingertips after having done the evening washing up.
Now we are enjoying an almost total lack of human sounds but there are many strange noises comming from the forrest surrounding us.

Tomorrow we have planned probably the most insane climb we have done so far, following the footsteps of Darwin (relax, it's physically insane, not dangerously insane so no need to worry).
