San Juan

Personally, I love the outdoors and all kinds of outdoor experiences ... That's why I really enjoy these old places hidden among longer-traveled routes and mountains, trees and rivers trying to return to their natural course, fighting against man and modern times. This place is just like that ... It's the old road leading to Calingasta ... And there is much to discover in the surrounding areas, many places to walk to.

The photo is from place called "La Laja," which is just northeast of San Juan. Long ago, this place was popular with tourists thanks to its hot springs. The area also was popular with mining, and lots of industrial activity blossomed in the area. The natural baths are still there and so is a beautiful stone hotel which was later transformed into a University museum.
