Valle Aviles

A little over a week ago four of us got away from the Estancia for a 5 day backpacking trip into Valle Aviles.  I thought of writing about the incredible canyon we experienced but words and even the following pictures do not even do it justice.  You wont find this place written up in any guide book I know of and we pretty much had it to ourselves.
