Ying got a problem with one of her teeth and in Puyuhuapi is no dentist. The next village La Junta (what a name?!) should have one told us our friendly Hostal owner. En “La Posta del Salud” we checked and lucky again the dentist should be there tomorrow. The next day we found out that the dentist is here only every 2 months. Luck!
The tourist information was closed so we just walked. When we wanted to lie down at a river a bit outside of the village a guy with construction work clothes came and told us that he has “molesture” us. Minero, tronadura…Ying thought something of minerals but I understood explosion. We had to leave. About 1 km far away we looked at the spectacle. Most amazing were the shockwaves which went through the earth almost instantly and all the birds which went screaming into the air. Human being…
A sign from old times in La Junta...we wondered about this
Before the detonation
And after. Not intended that the street was gone too, I guess.
The small Nalca...on our evening walk
By the way: The dentist service was for free, even for foreigners. Viva Chile! :-)
