I
just did the extra 2 km to the nice lookout near Huiro. There is a fabulous nature appreciation
trial, all made out of elevated wooden walkways. Quite a maze of them, actually – impressive,
and with numerous info-interpretation stands along the way.
This is really cool - a display for blind people, complete with Braille info tags. It shows how different kinds of trees can be identified by the texture of their bark.
Pure serendipity that I found this walkway - it was totally deserted when I arrived. Only later did a bus with school kids show up.
Although
I did not get a chance to take a photo, I spotted a Patagonian fox on today's
ride. Beautiful animal, with a very distinctive bushy tail - fairly large too. It is the first time I have seen any wildlife here, other than birds and sea
lions.

Heading back to Corral, to catch the 3 PM ferry....
All in all, a great day out in the sun on the bike.
