We rode through beautiful bosque and parts that reminded me of Colorado, Montana before lluvia came down heavy on us as we descended into the valley some 1000-1500 ft only to discover that we had gotten lost.

 Fortunately Juan Carlos gave us a lift in the back of his truck.

Rain tapered off as we rode through some beautiful paramo, enpedrado calles.

Day came to an unexpected pleasant alto as we're still miles-miles away from our intended destination after we came across this beautiful resort in the middle of nowhere. It's their first weekend and we are first guests. Best camping stop and even better food y helados (3).
