ATHUEL CANYON

TWO YEARS AGO WE WERE VISITING THE ATHUEL CANYON IN MENDOZA. IT WAS A SUNNY DAY. WE STARTED TO DRIVE BY THE RIVER BANK. ATHUEL CANYON HAS WONDERFUL VIEWS LIKE THE COLOURS OF THE ROCKS OR THE SPECIAL COLOURS OF THE WATER.

ATHUEL RIVER IS VERY THIN BUT THERE ARE SOME DUMS.WHILE WE WERE TRAVELLING THE SKY STARTED GETTING DARK, IMMEDIATELY IT BEGAN TO RAIN. IN A FEW MINUTES THE RAIN TURNED INTO A POUR. SUDDENLY THE RAIN STOPPED AND WATERFALLS APPEARED FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE.

AS A RESULT WE COULDN´T CONTINUE OUR JOURNEY BECAUSE THE ROAD WAS FLOODED.

WE HAD TO STAY THERE FOR MANY HOURS. THOSE HOURS SEEMED ETERNAL.

FINALLY WHEN THE WATER LEVEL WENT DOWN WE COULD CONTINUE OUR TRIP.

IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE AND WE WERE VERY FRAIGHTENED.
