Well, I uploaded a few photos from Vulcan Llaima and haven´t found a computer to get the rest up, but here´s some of the climb . . . I¨ll try and get the ski at some point!

Looking down on old eruption effects . . . this one erupted only 4 months ago!!! I´m not sure that all that damage was done in the most recent eruption, however . . .

When we got to the lava at the top, it was literally steaming . . . it was a trip to walk through, but no big deal. It was also pretty warm 🙂

So, the crazy part was that, since we had to walk around the rim of the volcano to get back to our descent (since we took the long way up), we had to walk around the caldera and it was intense! Steam coming from everywhere, tons of lava rock, and sulfur remnants. At one point, I climbed up and took a look into the actual caldera and almost got nauseaus . . . it was DEEP! Let´s just say I moved back from the edge immediately!

After walking the caldera, we dropped into a fabulous 5000´corn run . . . and then came another adventure of navegating the Chilean countryside . . . stay tuned!
