Demanding higher wages and better working conditions, protesters chanted and lit tires on fire for more than an hour before being asked to leave by authorities. This particular protest was part of a nationwide strike that affected more than 300 Chilean municipalities in the Fall of 2013, sparking a wave of health and sanitation concerns across the country as uncollected trash littered city streets for more than a month.

We took the car as far up the mountain road as possible, before hitting a staircase that would lead us the rest of the way up to the temple. This is the view of the Ganges river valley, before sunrise.

Following a winding, one-way road back into the mountains, I finally came upon a small turn-off that lead back into the forest and eventually to the falls. All in all, the afternoon amounted to be a 10km excursion, which was rewarded by a dip in this glacial melt waterfall. None of the locals I asked knew the name of the fall, but they were quick to offer me a ride back to town on their motorbike.
