Hiking
What you don't see when you walk here: this lake exists thanks to sheer stubbornness.
When the La Joyante River was dammed in the 1970s, no one believed the lake would ever amount to anything. Too isolated, too wild.
But nature had other plans.
Today, the water is so calm that you almost forget how much effort it once took to tame this landscape.
