Lago Caburgua & Ojos del Caburgua

The weather has cleared up a little today, though there were still some low lying clouds. 

I was going white water rafting later in the afternoon and since there were a few hours in the morning free, I invited Geyson to accompany me to Lago Caburgua, located about 22km away from Pucon. 

It was extremely serene and quiet as there were hardly anyone around.  Geyson mentioned that during summer, this place would be absolutely packed with people and boats.  I think I prefer the tranquillity the place has to offer now as compared to having to squeeze with the crowd in the peak of summer!

We stayed there for about an hour, where Geyson had an empanada breakfast before heading back down. 

The empanadas are huge!  They are like our version of curry puff, though much bigger and with various other stuffing. 

On our way back, we stopped by Ojos del Caburgua, where it had a famous blue lagoon (Laguna Azul), and a small waterfall.  It was strange that the lagoon was blue as the water that runs through it is totally clear. 

I asked Geyson, but he didn’t know either. 

Mystery unsolved….
