"Popayán" river

Parque Nacional El Rey

It´s a beatiful national park 200 kms. to the east of Salta city, where we can see the transition between the low forest and the sub-tropical rain forest. There are lakes with a lot of birds and it´s usual to see Tapires wash themselves on a warm days. To walk through the national park it´s necessary to go with aditional pairs of shoes and throusers because we must cross a river several times, on the way , if we are lucky, we can see animals and a lot of fish swimming in places in the river where the water is still (as in the picture above). If you are a crazy trekker, we can walk 25 kms. though the rain forest. The only friends who will not be absent, will be the insects, I promise. Specially TICKS!
