Guanaqueros


On Saturday, I met up with Fabian, Gustavo and his wife for a bike trip out to Guanaqueros - a small fishing town south of La Serena (GPS 30º11'50''s - 71º25'20''W)
Guanaqueros is a popular spot for camping in the summer, it has 17km of fine sand beach. I'm told that the water is warmer in this sheltered cove ... which probably means it's a degree above frigid! The Pacific ocean in this part of the world is pretty cold.

After a spot of breakfast (scrambled egg sandwich and coffee), we looped back to La Serena via Barrancas, an unpaved road to the Ruta 43. This dirt road was quite challenging in places, quite loose surface and in need of some maintenance!
