We (Scarlett Eastman and Martin Eayrs) left San Mart\u00edn de los Andes at 07.00 and drove along the Ruta Siete Lagos, turned off left for Meliquina and then right up to Filo Hua Hum. The estancia house is a little further than the ‘public’ lake, and the roads a little adventurous.<\/p>\n

It was a warm morning, with clear blue sky and a few high fluffy white clouds. It became a little windy in the afternoon but the good weather persisted.<\/p>\n
