On top of the world

Friday, the Spaniards Gemma, Cristina and I decided to give the puestos a miss and went to see some Mayan ruins only 40km from San Juan. We were dropped off by the camionetta at a fork in the road, the bus continued right, so we walked left up an emormous hill. The scenery was amazing as you can see from the pics. We continued and found some amazing ruins, that felt like they were on top of the world. After a few hours taking it in and a picnic, we headed back, only to find there weren't any buses and therefore accepted a very kind free lift from some gents ina huge lorry

This isn't a wall, it is actually steps, but super steep
