6/24/2019
: We arrived early in the morning at Las Cuevas where I stopped again to get some more photos. Then we continued on to Lago Chungara. Lago Chungara is said to be the world's highest freshwater lake or something like that. A volcano steamed in the background.
On the way back, we stopped for some lunch. I went outside and walked around for a minute, and when I came back the other way, two very large dogs started running toward me with what seemed to be bad intent nearly killing me running away at the high altitude. And then I had to climb up a cliff to get back to the car.
6/25/2019
: We hiked in the morning on a nature trail starting in Parinacota. From there, we drove back toward Arica to end our visit to the park.
