Search for the owl! A long tiresome ride After a resting night and a good breakfast, we headed to the horses’ place. Full of joy meeting our horses. After three days in the North we would ride the South part of San Pedro with two new riders. Lola and Antoine, from France. The way was nothing to compare with what we experienced the three first day. We rode outside San Pedro on long and boring roads, crossing villages, meeting wild dogs and a nice one. Sometimes it is the price to pay to just reach an incredible sightseeing. We stopped for lunch under trees that kept us away from the heat. We went back to the same old road!. We met a couple of tourists who sat nice and comfortable in their car, some less cosy on their bikes! The Cejar Lagoon Enjoying the float! Beginning of the afternoon our efforts were rewarded. At 2 or 3 p.m we arrived at the Laguna Cejar. The most expensive tourist place ever in Chile: €20! We booked an all-inclusive package, so nothing to fear only the guard at the entry. She made herself important and asked for our registration, our passport and so on. Our horses particularly mine could stay two minutes in places, I had to hold her tight. Everything went well, we entered the place and left the horses where they are allowed to. Joaquin remained, as usual, mysterious and just mentioned that he was waiting for the organisers ‘car to pass by while we went swimming. Later that afternoon we would have access to shower, that was such a good feeling after a horseback riding and salty bath. The area was made for tourists: showers, toilets, and huts were made available for visitors. We were marveled by the deep dark blue water mixed with the crystal-clear shallow water on a shiny white background. From far away we could see some pink patches that looked alike flamingos. Some birds and bugs flew around, nature was alive! We were in heaven. We walked to the only lagoon out of three to be opened to tourists. The place at that time was empty, only early comers took a bath. HEAVEN! The water contains 5 times more salt that the Dead sea. We could swim but float obviously without difficulty. We spent some time there, when we decided to walk around and to take pictures of the two other lagoons. We knew that the organisers would come at 5 p.m. We did not want to miss anything. We had a cold shower, got dress and explored the lagoons. We met again Joaquin, two hours later, that made an announcement: we would camp here! Where here???? At the Cejar lagoo???? Yes! What a joy like kids. It was such a privilege! Staying here to watch the sunset and the sunrise! We had plenty of time, then! The camp site The water contains 5 times more salt that the Dead sea.

Conversations went on for a while, we gazed at the stars. However the light pollution prevented us from seeing a clear sky. But still we appreciated it. MAGIC MOMENTS SUNSET
