note: gps location may be slightly off.

we decided to take the ‘complicated’ road north of colonia pellegrini — it was shorter and was going north (rather than south). i didn’t really know what complicated meant, but after being on the road for 30 minutes, i learned. the road is mostly sand, meaning that sometimes you have to simply plow through pits, hoping that the inertia of the car is enough to get you back on semi-solid ground. miraculously, we made it without any issues! further north, we stopped by yaguaroundi (a natural reserve recommended by some germans i met in santiago). it was nice (and free), but maybe not worth the minor detour we took.
