Today was Pday! Many people have told us of the beautiful Salto del Itata Falls so we took a little drive to see them for ourselves. The city is a little claustrophobic to me so I love to get out in the country. We drove through a forest. Many of the forests here are man made.

They plant the trees in tidy little rows |

We passed the lumber yard where they process all those trees |

We were on this dirt road for several miles |

We passed this campground and wondered if Brett would like to bring his scouts for an overnighter |

Good thing we got some great directions from our friends. These were the signs marking the way... |

And if you didn't look close they would be very easy to miss |

Our car was a little dirty when we finally arrived |

But it was so worth it! The falls are huge - 260 feet! |

Here's a little video so you can appreciate the power and majesty of the falls -

We had such a fun morning exploring this beautiful country that we live in. Be sure to add the falls to the list of things you would like to see when you come visit!
I was waiting to see Kent in the video pretending to go over in a barrel!
