Day 4 started off fairly interesting. Ian and I left early in search of the bus station and his bags. A taxi driver was dropping off the the fresh rolls for breakfast so we grabbed some and headed out to look for the cab that was scheduled to take us to the bus station. By 7:15 no other cab had showed up so we asked the driver who dropped off the rolls to take us to the bus company we rode in with. After a google translate conversation we learned that the bags were not with that company, then it was off to the next company down the street. We were in the process of trying to communicate what we were looking for when I received word from Jenn at Skyline Adventures that the bag would be delivered later that day. So we hopped another taxi back to Olaza's just in time to grab some breakfast before we departed. It was definitely a lesson in how little Spanish we really understood.
After an hour long ride we arrived at the trailhead with our guides Sam and Ruben to begin our trek. The trail was step and tough but beautiful. I will let these pictures speak for themselves.
We made it to the lake in about 3 hours, and were treated to a beautiful site and another great lunch.
Dylan and Oscar even went for a swim in the lake!
It only took us an hour to hike back down and another hour to return to the hotel. Ian was quickly whisked away to fetch his bags and was ecstatic when he finally had all of his equipment.
Another great dinner in town, and tomorrow we head into the mountains for a week.
