A trip to Merlo

Two weekends ago i went to a town called Merlo in the province San Luis. Its a 2 hour drive from Rio Cuarto but the drive is very pretty. We left my two younger brothers at their grandmas house so it was my parents sisters and me. We stayed in the house of my host mothers sister, she has two boys. 


The town is smaller than Rio Cuarto but its a very tourist friendly place and a lot of people from Buenos Aires and other big cities vaccion in Merlo. There is a little carnival in town with rides and we could ride them for free because the Aunt works there! There was one ride called Zumba that my sisters liked a lot is was a cirlcle that spun around and when up and down, it was fun but it also hurt my bac from slamming into the seat. 


The first day we drove up to a area called Mirado el Sol, there are hikes that start there, a beautiful view of the city, people selling crafts, and cross canyon ziplines! we went on the zipline! it was a lot of fun and not that scary even though the second one was 80 meters high!!!


We also went on a hike! We walked along side a river all the way up to a beautiful water fall! we also swam in the water but it was freezing cold, so we didnt actually swim! At the falls there were wild peach trees and the ripe fruit was very good! 

This is the ride, Agos is standing in the middle, i tried it too but it was really difficult to balence!

A special food in Merlo is goat! We didnt eat it but it smelled delicious!
