decorations, kitchen space, rooms, and the view !
We checked out the other hostel but after walking in immediately decided to come back to Penthouse 1004.
A bike tour provided us with entertainment the next day. We passed a 5 star hotel where we found out that the hombre negros stayed there, directly translated means black men but eventually figured out the gate guard meant Men In Black.
We tired pretty quickly after that and only stopped once more at a lake where we chatted with a couple from Buenos Aires on vacation and saw some local wildlife. They might not look big in the picture but they were the size of large chickens and they could actually fly.
The next day we hiked up to Mount Corro along an unmarked trail we later found out was "the trail to Milemarker 4.6" which marks the spot where the bus picks you up. Along the way we were joined by a companion we called Scout.
He definitely made us feel a little safer hiking up the overgrown trail. After reaching the top of the mountain we bought tickets to take a gondola down! Scout was still with us and the ticket agent said that he had seen Scout before and he called him Boomerang. Not his real name we found out later but that's what the guy called him because he was a stray and kept following hikers up the trail, which is 6 kilometers long! I succumbed to Scout's cuteness and gave him part of my sandwich. The ticket agent gave him a whole "triplé" sandwhich, so we left him well fed before we headed down the gondola.
