Itinerary description

Not quite what we were trying to do. We downloaded Manry's trail (Caminata San Francisco de Piedades Sur) but needed a place to park, so we chose the local church and started our hike from there. We had difficulty staying on the GPS trail, we weren't getting lost, there just wasn't an apparent trail. Not sure, but this may be due to some variance to GPS data?? After a particularly difficult stretch, (starting at km 6.7) up hill through chest high grass, we found a path that became a lane that with a huge amount of luck returned us to the church and our car!

Plenty of nice vistas, pretty stream, but we crossed way too many fence lines and spent a lot of time looking for the path.
