Villa la Angostura & San Martin de los Andes

We arrived mid afternoon and after our usual visit to the Tourist information office we headed to the supermarket.

The place looked amazing, really green and relaxing and we were determined to make the most of the time there. So as we couldn´t leave the big bags in the info center we oops forgot them for the rest of the afternoon in the supermarket´s customers desk, we walked down to the National Park Los Arrayanes where we spent a few hours enjoying the beautiful views of the peninsula.

We got a lift back to the city by a nice couple and picked up dinner and after get a bit of a told off, also our big bags. We head to find a home sweet home for the night, which we find next to Rio Correntoso.

Nxt moring we got drop off at the begining of the ¨camino de los 7 lagos¨ where we found conviniently located a blackberrys tree and James decided that that would make a nice lunch as there were plenty of them... a few hours later (after stuffing ourselves with blackberrys and of course, turron -James favorite snack im Argentina-!) and sitting by the beautiful lake Espejo (see photos) we got a lift from a nice guy, Leo, a forest fireman who was on his way to San Martin de los Andes to put out a fire that started in Lenin´s National Park.
