Day 4: Tuesday, 12/29/09: Punta de Vacas to Casa de Piedra

A free breakfast of cereal, bread, eggs, and fruit was served at 8:00 and we took full advantage. After fueling up, Grajales transported us to the Vacas Valley trailhead. A bit of picture taking and we were off just after 9:00. The first leg was beautiful and took us about 4 1/2 hours to get to Pampa de Lenas. We checked in with the rangers, got our refuse bags, and relaxed for lunch. Pampa de Lenas had running water that we drank unfiltered/untreated. We left Pampa de Lenas around 15:00. We were hoping to reach Casa de Piedra to set up camp, but we were feeling a bit tired and decided to pitch camp at around 19:00 while we still had daylight. We figured we were probably about 1 hr from Casa de Piedra, and it wouldn't add too much to our journey tomorrow.
