Day 23 - Jeep tour day 2
Alberto wakes us up early as we have a long day ahead. After Sylvia lays on breakfast we pack up the Jeep and head off to San Antonio a small ghost town that was once famous for its wealth in gold. It was very cold at this time in the morning so it wasn't long when we all jumped back in the Jeep for our next stop.
We saw many lagoons including one where they extra the chemicals for making soap. The highlight of the day was stopping at the natural hot springs for a wash! The water was very hot (40 degrees Celsius) so we could not stay in too long but it was very refreshing.
After lunch we see volcanoes and Laguna Verde and Blanca both coloured due to the mineral content in their water. At 5000 metres we stop at the geysers (bubbling mud pools) which was a strange place as the sulphuric gases were strong and the ground very hot.
The hostel we stayed at was very sociable and warmer than last night so after several games of cards we retire to our beds ready for
the next day.
