El Valle Day 335 19/08/2015
The hills around El Valle are full of hiking trails and we decided to walk up to La India Dormida, a mountain ridge that apparently resembles a sleeping indigenous girl. Luckily Simon was feeling much better and after breakfast at the hostel we headed out, initially through the town centre before walking up by the side of a stream passing a number of small waterfalls to Piedra El Sapo (Toad Stone). From here the trail heads across the hillside before you come out of the jungle by the ridge. The views across the crater and surrounding hillsides were very nice and it was certainly worth the effort of the 1.5 hour climb to get there. After a short break we set off back downhill, adopting a dog on route which we thought was a good snake avoidance strategy! Back in the town we stopped at a pizzeria for lunch before wandering back to the hostel via the local supermarket. We spent the remainder of the afternoon chilling in the hammocks being entertained by the parrots. In the evening we went to L'Italiano for pasta, a safe bet hopefully for Simon's stomach.
