We had breakfast at the hotel and headed out. Huilo Huilo had a number of self guided hikes but we decided we’d rather get on our way to Pucón, a 2.5 hour drive. We decided to check out the hot springs in Liquine. Liquine was a very small town, so small that at one point a pig wandered across the road. We stopped at the information office but the woman there didn’t speak English and my Spanish is really bad. Eventually we found a hot spring site. It was very basic, with most of the visitors camping there. I got a tour from a guy working there. For 6,000 pesos, $10, you could use all of their facilities which included a couple of tubs feed by hot springs, a sauna, a mud hot spring, and private bath tubes. It didn’t look that clean so we didn’t do it but it was an interesting spot.
Then we continued on to Pucón. We found the hotel without any problem. After checking in, we went for a late lunch at a Peruvian restaurant and then walked through town. We were trying to find a sailboat to rent but were told that we could only go out with a skipper, oh well! We walked to the lake. There we saw a boat just like our, we joked that we had had it shipped just to S. America.
Here is a picture of the sunset over the lake.
That evening we had our typical picnic on our deck at the hotel.
