Rio Verde
... there are several small dams - it looks like it has been a long time since there was any water here for them to hold back!
Eventually, the Carretera, which we've been able to see in the distance for some time, looms just above us and after one last effort (assisted by just having eaten the last chewy bars of the day), we're back at the car - and the weather has finally cleared up completely.

The path is neither straight nor level, but it's all easy walking as it continues to the Venta Los ...

... s is a friend of his. We are fortunate indeed! There are only 2 apartments per floor, the other rented by our friends who arrived soon after to take us on a tour of their town.
