Salto, Uruguay

Back at our Workaway in Chile, we learned about an interesting place in Uruguay. We heard that Salto is a place where you can find an amazing parrilla (BBQ) and relaxing hot springs. Sounds like our kind of place! So we headed to Salto.

The more we walked around town, the more interesting it became. While walking to our accommodation, we saw several homes with horses. We didn’t see many people riding horses, but they were tied up in their front yards.

As we ventured closer to the hot springs, there were more hotels, and people were walking around in their bathrobes. Maybe they were on their way to the hot springs, or on their way home, or just felt like they wanted to be cozy. Who knows?

Our second day in Salto we went to the hot springs. These hot springs were more luxurious, or developed compared to the hot springs we visited in Chile. 

There were about nine different pools and apparently they were all different temperatures. Most of them were very hot! There were pools meant just for adults and pools that had slides and other fun water elements geared towards children.

That night we headed to the parrilla we heard about from our Workaway in Chile. And indeed it was amazing. We ordered meat for four with a salad and fries, and there was plenty to spare. The meat was served on a hot plate with warm coals underneath. Most of the meat was identifiable, some wasn’t, but it was all delicious!

It was a short stay in Salto, but it was tasty and relaxing!

San Blas Islands, Panama

We left Cartagena, Colombia (and South America) on a sailboat called the Amande. It can hold up to 14 passengers, but there were 11 of us...
