Date<\/strong><\/em>: Monday 12 September 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trajectory<\/em><\/strong>:  Mburucuy\u00e1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distance covered:<\/em><\/strong> 60 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Early breakfast of coffee and biscuits and off to the Mburucuy\u00e1 National Park, some 22 miles away. The last part was eleven kilometres of sandy track, and I remembered on my previous stormy visit how lucky I was to get away through the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had a choice of paths and chose the Yatay Trail, a seven kilometre walk through different kinds of vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was completely alone in the park (it isn\u2019t easy to get to) and had a great sense of space …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… seeing the odd deer …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… and learning about animal tracks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There were a number of black vultures at the end of the trail, which for some irreverent reason reminded my of Disney\u2019s \u2018Jungle Book\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But my bird of the day was the masked gnatcatcher, whom I watched as they performed their courtship rituals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then back to my new home for two nights, where I cooked for the first time in weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spent the rest of the day reading and catching up with emails. Tomorrow I return to Iber\u00e1 on the western side, from the Loreto Portal, where I\u2019m meeting an old friend from San Mart\u00edn de los Andes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
