A Trip to Juncalito

On Wednesday, May 11th we left for the small mountain top community of Juncalito. The ride up the mountain was breathtaking. After arriving, we got settled in our rooms, enjoyed a short hike, had lunch, and began the hike down into town for our clinic. At the clinic we treated 26 people and even did one home visit. We treated a number of people with musculoskeletal problems as many people here work as laborers. We really enjoyed the people of Juncalito and the beautiful sights. Then we hiked back up the mountain in the rain and enjoyed dinner. We had a relaxing evening and retired early. The next morning we did a sunrise hike down the mountain to the waterfalls where we enjoyed an icy swim. After breakfast, we had to head back to Santiago. It was a beautiful trip and we enjoyed the people and our work in Juncalito.
